Dear WorkAwayers,
We have loved used this platform for ad-hoc help during school holidays. We have now found an au pair who will be joining us soon, and so won't be looking for childcare or dog sitting help for the time being. Please only get in touch if you have an additional skill (for example teaching reading, teaching swimming, doing gardening, dog training, wood projects) and would be happy for a shorter stay.
Best wishes!

We are a friendly family that have recently moved to Holland from London. We have two little boys, aged 3 and aged 5, a cockapoo dog and a golden doodle puppy.
We live in a large townhouse in The Hague, with large back garden and veranda, large living room and separate play room, and WorkAwayers get their own room, own bathroom and own bike :) There are lots of cafes, shops, parks and playgrounds on the doorstep, and everything is walking distance. If you like cycling, the beach is about 15 minutes away by bicycle.
In terms of what we’re looking for, we would love to meet someone who enjoys spending time with children, and who would be happy to get involved - playing with toys, playing hide and seek, doing drawing / painting, reading stories, taking the boys to the parks and playgrounds etc. Even better if they're willing to help a bit with maths, reading, arts and crafts, a nature walk, singing nursery rhymes and humouring them with their imaginations and games. The WorkAwayer will need to have a lot of patience – for example to remain calm during occasional tantrums, crying, small arguments between the boys etc.
We would ask for 25 hours per week, but this can be spread over 5 days (or 4 if you prefer). Schedule discussed in advance of course, so that you can plan your free time :)
Feel free to ask any questions and we hope to work with you soon :)

Arbeit
Rory is 3 years old and he is a very funny, affectionate and active little boy. He loves being physical but needs to learn that he can’t rugby tackle everyone! ;) Huxley is nearly 5 and is very chatty. He will tell you every thought that comes into his mind and ask lots of questions! He has school until 3o'clock during the week. Hux loves playing with his little brother, they really are best friends and for the most part they can keep each other entertained. Hux loves maths and numbers, doing puzzles, and playing with his trains.

Lotte, Jonathan and their boys were very accommodating. And, they had just moved into their new house when I arrived! From playing with the boys, scooting in the park and very entertaining meal times, my heart overflowed with joy.

My day would be spent with Hux and Rori going to the park or taking part in imaginary games. May I add they were the most adorable and fun little… read more
My job was to look after Huxley and Rory in the mornings, like playing with them at home or taking them to the park, for example. They are very sociable and lovely boys! I had a great time with them, they are… read more
Taking care of Huxley and Rory was such a joy! They love learning and playing together, so it's not a surprise we created new games for our daily "adventures".
I had a really nice time with her two boys, they are funny and full with energy. The communication with Lotte was great, she always told me beforehand my schedule and I could always ask her, when I needed something.
In the evenings we eat… read more
