Outdoor work and family life in the middle of nature near Nederweert, Netherlands

  Beschreibung

  Hello!
  
  We have moved to our beautiful new home two years ago. It was a dream come true for us. In the middle of nature, 2 acres of land, an extra building where we can start a bed and breakfast. A nice garden with apple, pear, cherry and plum trees. Raspberies and grapes. We are even trying to grow some veggies.
  But we have to be honest to ourselves, it is more work than we expected it to be. With two little boys, aged 1 and 4 and both of us working fulltime, we are having a hard time to keep up with everything that needs te be done on our land/ garden/home and of course caring and spending time together with our kids..
  We have travelled a lot and now we also like our kids to get to know other cultures and learn from them. Which is why welcoming two workaway's seems like the perfect thing.
  
  Long story short, we 'd like your help and your company.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  We hope to make some new friends. We hope you feel welcome and become part of our family.
  We can't promise you amazing fieldtrips to Amsterdam or other typical dutch places.. but we can drop you off at the trainstation, or you can borrow our car once in a while.
  We can't promise you wild parties and meeting lots of new people at those parties, but we can give you quiet evenings and morningwalks in the forrest with a lot of wildlife. And you can read bedtime stories to our oldest kid and get many hugs from him once he gets familiar with you.
  
  Because of this, we also hope to welcome a couple. With the both of us working fulltime, it s nice if you have some company.

  Arbeit

  At this time we have some outdoor maintanance jobs that need to be done.
  
  - painting the fence. There is a lot of fence that needs to be painted...
  - at the end of our meadow there is a ditch/trench which is filled with wild plants, even full grown bushes... it needs to be trimmed back all the way.. a lot of work... and we'd like to plant some willows there.
  - there are around 20 poplars that need to be pruned.
  
  Our kids are quite shy and don't know English yet, they need some time to get used to you, which is one of the reasons we want you to be here for a longer period of time. While your focus will be on the maintance jobs in the beginning, they can get used to your company and then later on in your stay we'd like your help in caring for the kids, and of course around the house/ cooking.

  Unterkunft

  You will stay in the Bed and Breakfast that is not realised yet.
  During your stay we also like to renovate and model/decorate the place.
  But don't worry. We will respect your privacy. There are three seperate rooms and two bathrooms in the building.
  There is a kitchenette. So you will always have your private space, but possibly, you need to move once or twice to another room. So you need to be a little bit flexible, and maybe spend the first few days on making the place a bit more cosy.
