Beschreibung
Hi, we are Jackie and Joana 😊
We are mainly looking for a reliable, practical and family-oriented helper who supports us in everyday life at home, helps keeping things running smoothly, and occasionally spends time with my daughter Joana (8).
The most important focus of the stay is:
- household support (especially cleaning and keeping the home organized)
- simple cooking on some evenings during the week
- practical hands-on help with small projects and repairs
- occasional supervision and time with Joana
About us
We, Jackie (37-yo) and Joana 8-yo) live in Oerlikon, about 5 km from Zurich city center (around 20 minutes by public transport or bicycle).
Our neighborhood is urban but very family-friendly. We live in a housing cooperative with shared facilities such as bike and car rentals, playgrounds, a café, and a coworking space. Parks, the lake, rivers, and nature are easily accessible, and free bikes make it easy to explore Zurich. The airport is also nearby (about 25 minutes by bike or 14 minutes by public transport).

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Staying with us offers a genuine insight into everyday life in Zurich and in Switzerland beyond the tourist perspective. As a family, we value openness, conversation, and learning from each other.
Travellers can:
- experience daily life in a Swiss urban neighborhood and housing cooperative
- learn how family life, school routines, and work-life balance are organized in Switzerland
- exchange ideas about education, parenting, sustainability, and community life
I work as a teacher, so I enjoy sharing perspectives on the Swiss education system and learning from other cultures and backgrounds in return.
If interested, travellers can also get an insight into foodsharing, a sustainability movement I’m actively involved in, including how community-based initiatives work in Switzerland. Participation is optional and meant as cultural exchange rather than work.
Above all, this stay is about mutual exchange: sharing meals, conversations, experiences, and perspectives on life.
