Arbeit
There is always something to do here, helping on the allotment, pruning trees, pointing the walls, painting, cleaning out chicken coops, swimming pool maintenance, cleaning and general maintenance of the place!
Around the house cooking/ cleaning up after meals is something we always appreciate help with and enjoy trying new recipes.
It will also depend on the time of year so it's always a good idea to chat beforehand and work out what's best for everyone
We have two children, if you have childcare experience we may like to discuss help as part of the exchange!
