Description
Hello helper!
You're welcome to spend time in Switzerland for some help in exchange.
We are a family consisting of me and my son, 21, who is studying for his technical diploma.
I am the leader of administration in a physio therapy practice and have qualifications as a registered nurse, but don't work shifts anymore.
My two older children sometimes come to visit, occasionally joined by our Shiba Inu dog Shiro.
We live in a one family house with a small garden.
The direct view of the lake and mountains is breathtaking.
There is a forest right above our house, and it's so quiet that you can hear the birds sing.
Thun and Bern are easily reached by bus and train, and our place is very central for various day trips.
We speak English, German, and a bit French and Italian.
Please send your application with a photo, your skills and some insight into your personality.
If you don't have any reviews on workaway please provide other references that I could possibly contact.
We are looking forward to hear from you! :)
