Beschreibung
We will be thankful for help in the spring with various help - painting, maintenance and garden. Tasks will include outdoor jobs such as sifting the compost, cleaning the deck, or indoor - painting, cleaning maybe looking after the cats for a day or two. Woodworking skills would come in very handy but are not a must. Additional projects may come up as we get closer to April, but we’ll let you know about those in advance.
I am an International Citizen who has lived and worked in many parts of the world and I enjoy hosting guests and friends from all over. I moved to Berlin in 2016 and have been living on the large houseboat ever since. My partner Micha joined me on the boat a few years ago. We work a lot and enjoy doing this together with others in a team.
We have a number of projects on the boat which require ongoing attention, different paint and repair jobs, wood cutting, chopping and stapling as well as a number of household related tasks.
We have two cats
thank you and greetings

Robin is very sweet, interested and immensely helpful workaway guest. He stayed 11 days with us and completed all assigned tasks with great dedication and skill. He is very neat and orderly. As an example we asked him to clean the (many) windows on the boat - and I have never seen them sparkle like this... He was also very open and interested,… read more

Hilde had me catsit her two cats on the boat for three weeks and it was a DREAM! The houseboat is absolutely beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed waking up to the amazing waterfront view. I also took the kayak out one day and swam a few times, entering the water directly from the boat.

Nicole offered her experience as a house sitter during our initial email exchange, and I took up her offer for our summer vacation of three weeks.

Arushi was friendly, very helpful and a joy to have around. She worked hard painting the boat and did not rest until it was finished. She also took care of the cats and was generally considerate, easy-going, and a great person to talk to. I can definitely recommend her as a work-away guest :-)

Had a great time at Hilde’s and we wish we could have stayed for longer. The boat is lovely and the work was fair and not too difficult! The working hours were flexible and we enjoyed chatting to Hilde (and cuddling the cats!).
