Was ist das?

Informationen

Beschreibung
We are a busy family who could use help in the house. We love to travel, but because of the little ones and life stay mostly local these days. Our kids are fun and energetic. We have a great community and love having friends over often (or did, pre-Covid).

We live in a beautiful area of California. It's a small, quiet town, but close to San Francisco and Berkeley, with decent public transportation (good by American standards) so you can get around and explore but have a safe, quiet base to come home to.
Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten
Sprachpraxis
Unterrichten
Gartenarbeiten
Zubereiten / Kochen von Mahlzeiten für die Familie
Hausarbeiten
Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
A chance to explore a beautiful part of the country, and of course practice speaking English. There are many other workaways nearby so it's easy to make friends from around the world and explore together.
Projekte mit Kindern
Dieses Projekt schließt möglicherweise den Umgang mit Kindern ein. Mehr Informationen findest du in unseren Verhaltensregeln und Tipps hier.
Arbeit
A mix of light cooking, cleaning, and errands. In addition would love language practice/teaching if you speak Mandarin/Spanish/Turkish.

We're also open to other ideas if you have particular skills or interests that could be helpful. (For example if you're a great organizer, our house can use some help. If you have a green thumb we'd love to grow some vegetables in the yard...) Basically helping me manage our sometimes chaotic household. If you can speak Mandarin or Turkish to the kids and/or cook Turkish food a plus!

Unterkunft
Private room in our house. We live in a great place, it's a small island (Alameda) with views of San Francisco and the bay. We're just a few blocks walk from the ferry to San Francisco, and bus lines run near the house for travel around the bay area. It's quiet, safe, lots of walking and bike paths along the bay and lagoons. (We can provide a bike for you to use.) It's a quiet suburb, but 30-40 minutes from San Francisco and Berkeley, 5 minutes from Oakland. Also, there are a number of other workaways and au pairs staying in the neighborhood, so you'd have adventure/travel buddies to explore with if desired.

I spend two months with this nice family.
The family are very nice people who make sure you have everything you need to help out at home.whenever i had a question or needed help Judi and Cem always willing to assist/provide an answer.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Linda)

It was such a pleasure to have Linda stay with us. She is kind, caring, considerate, and thoughtful. She is also extremely responsible and conscientious. She is reliable, and I knew I could always count on her to do any task asked. She took our children's safety very seriously, which as a parent made me feel comfortable leaving the children in her… read more

Vom Workawayer (Linda) für Host

Staying with you was a great experience for me in so many ways. It was my first time in the U.S. and my first time staying with another family and I’m very happy I got the chance to do this.

I got to know two girls who can be so incredibly cute! I was often surprised and impressed by their thinking and acting. Judi trusted me though I`m not much… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Kozue)

It was such a pleasure to have Kozue stay with us. She is hardworking, responsible, reliable, and always eager to help in any way possible. She is excellent at learning and following directions. She is the kind of person you only have to tell her how to do something once, and she will remember and get it right. In addition she has initiative and… read more

I stayed with the family for 4 weeks.
I really appreciate them. Thank you for accepting me and sharing good time with me.
Alameda is also nice place. It has good shops and restaurants on the Main Street and in a shopping center. I usually get there on foot when it's sunny. We can go to bayside easily and enjoy relaxing time. It's close to San… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Mona)

We had a wonderful time having Mona stay with us. She is warm and genuine and the kids loved her. Mona is very down to earth, and we were all very comfortable around her, as if she were part of the family. She is very mature, and I always felt safe leaving the children in her care. She has common sense and is responsible and I didn't feel like… read more

Dear all,
I cannot recommend this family more highly! They are so nice and friendly people. I really enjoyed my time there and felt like a member of this awesome family. Where shall I begin? Judi, the hostmum, is so incredibly kind! When I left my previous hostfamily she helped me looking for a new one. She asked her friends whether I can stay… read more

This is a very belated feedback, but I wanted to make sure to let people know how great Malene is. She was a pleasure to have in our home. She is hardworking, responsible, and reliable. She was a great help around the house and great with the kids. She has a positive attitude and is always willing to help in any way. She is the kind of person… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Jennifer)

We don't usually accept workaways for short stays, however we happened to have a gap in our schedule that matched, and I just had a very good feeling about Jenny when we spoke. When she arrived we were not disappointed. Jenny is the kind of person that will do everything you've asked and then ask what more she can do to help. Then, because she… read more

My stay with this great family was one of the nicest experiences I've ever had! I've only been there for two weeks because circumstances didn't allow more, but I can highly recommend to stay with this amazing family and would have loved to stay longer if it had been possible! They've been very welcoming from the beginning until the end and they… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Sophia)

This is a long overdue recommendation for Sophia. Sophia came to us at a challenging time. A family emergency had forced us to take a sudden trip out of town, so we weren’t even home to welcome her when she arrived. We arrived after midnight, and she had stayed up to greet us, and even managed to charm and entertain our overtired and jet-lagged… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Ophélie)

It was such a pleasure to have Ophelie with us for 2 months. Ophelie is genuinely one of the kindest, sweetest, and most caring people I have known. She felt more like a part of our family than a guest or visitor. (To the point that if we went someplace without her, our youngest kept looking around asking “Where’s Ophelie?” as she would if one… read more

I spent two weeks in this family instead of two months. According to the other feedbacks, I might be the only one who felt this way, but I was coming from an amazing family in Seattle, and here I thought that the family, parents and children were not very respectful, I felt like I was here only for work, no communication or a few emails, so it was… read more

I've stayed with this family for about two months in spring of 2015 and what can I say, I definitely couldn't have had it any better!
First of all, they are all incredibly kind and loving and almost instantly made me feel like part of the family. Both parents are super friendly, helpful and reliable.They took me to Palo Alto, helped me a lot… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Johanna)

We were very lucky to have Johanna stay with us for 8 weeks in March and April. I can't say enough good things about her. First and foremost, she is so genuinely kind and caring. It was obvious that she cared about our children and their well being, and worried about their safety at all times, whether she was "working" or not. I always felt… read more

Julia was fantastic. She arrived on a Saturday while I was at work and by the time I got home our 2 year old was permanently attached to her side. More importantly, she was extremely responsible and reliable, and I knew I could rely on her to always show up on time and complete any task assigned, which is incredibly important to us. She was… read more

I stayed in this lovely family for 6 weeks (January and February 2015) and had a really great experience with them :)
The children and the parents are both friendly, sociable, interesting and dynamic. We had a great feeling as soon as I arrived and until the end of my stay. The children are sweet, friendly and curious of everybody, that's a… read more
