Arbeit
We have 2 lively 12 year old twins (a girl and a boy). They both love dancing, gymnastics, swimming, trampolining, motocross - basically anything energetic. We are lucky we have a large garden with a heated swimming pool so there is plenty of room for them to run and shout. They attend the local school and are fluent in both English & Portuguese.
We would like our workawayers to help look after our small menagerie (chickens, ducks, dog, guinea pigs and goldfish) and general jobs around the house (cleaning, tidying-up etc) and garden (weeding, composting, tendering veg beds etc), cooking family meals. As well as possibly helping with projects painting, building and even a tree house.
During the cooler months (October - May) the help will be more outside than inside.
In summer when it's too hot for much gardening the help will be more inside than outside.
During school holidays more time will be spent playing with the kids and less on other stuff.
Occasionally we may spend a few days away and we would then ask our workawayer to be our house and pet-sitter. Plus the vegetable patch that will need keeping an eye on too.
We believe strongly that both the host and the workawayer must enjoy their roles and strive to reach a "win/win" situation - it's the only way to keep everybody happy and we all like happy!Sprachen

It was my first ever workaway experience at Sarah & Manoj's home and I felt so welcomed from all of them.

We got to work a lot of different things, so it never got boring. Mostly outside work, walking the dog, feeding the chickens and ducks, hedge trimming, planting things, painting... Sarah and Manoj had a great way of communicating, they always checked if we are fine with the work and everything else. They warmly welcomed us… read more

Their time here was split into three periods: Initially my kids were on school holidays and so child-minding was the primary task. This they undertook with a hands-on approach rather than just watching them: dancing, playing with make-up (particularly green body paint!) and of course… read more

Put simply – she likes to work! Ask her to move Mount Everest in a day and she’ll give it a good go! She’s like a “Duracell/Energizer bunny” (if you remember those) – her strength and energy outlives all those around her!
