  Update: Looking for someone from end August 2025!
  
  Hi everyone. We are Menno (45), Yvonne (42), Amadora (10), and our twins Rowan (4) & Gwendolyn (4). We live in a village very close to the beautiful city of Gouda, world famous for the Dutch cheese! If you like a rural setting with all major cities just 60 minutes away by cycling + public transport then this place is perfect for you. There is even room for your car or camper.
  Yvonne works in communications for the Dutch government and Menno works for an international insurance company and speaks fluent English. He worked in many countries all over the world and has a lot of experience dealing with cultural differences. We are very practical and no-nonsense people.
  
  Share the fun, share the tasks, and make our house your home. We are a busy but happy household. In our spare time we like good food and movies, reading, walking in quiet nature or visiting a lively city, swimming (there is a swimming pool nearby for summers), and other sports like fitness, karate (Menno has a black belt and can teach you), and cycling.
  If you don't have your own car, being able to cycle (5 kilometers) is really important. if you are a sauna fan you have come to the right place as we have our own outdoor sauna in the garden.
  
  You will become part of our family, that’s why we want someone minimum for two months. We like to go out exploring and you are welcome to join us.

  You would help (more or less):
  🦋 Help prepare the twins for (pre-)school 4 days a week (starts at 7:00 AM till 8:45 AM). This is a pretty hectic time of day for our family where a lot needs to be done in a short time.
  😃Bring the twins to school 4 times a week (by bike or by foot, 1 kilometer away)
  🦋 During 4 weekdays you help with light household tasks (for example; cleaning/tidying the house, laundry, cleaning out the dishwasher, pick up the children toys)
  ✨Cook a healthy dinner 2-3 times a week (we are easy eaters)
  😃 2 evenings ; Tuesday evening till 20:00 PM, Thursday evenening till we got home normally between 22:00-23:00 PM
  🦋 Occasionally babysit last minute in case of unexpected circumstances.
  
  You mainly help in the mornings and on most days you are free for the rest of the day. Its a total of approximately 20-25 hours. You are free on Wednesday and the weekends.

  Being able to cycle is a must to reach Gouda train station easily. The bus service isn't as frequent. We will provide you with a bike. From Gouda you can reach the major cities by train easily.

  Kann Digital Nomads unterbringen

  Our internet connection is good enough for normal usage but if you have lots of data-heavy work it might be too unstable. We also work a lot from home and use MS teams for our meetings.
