    Description

    !!!WANTED: we are looking for somebody who will be able to help with our garden, digging, housework and wood cutting or chopping in spring 2026 !!!

    Welcome to our watermill home near Prague!

    Thanks to good fortune, we live in a beautiful old mill by the water, close to both the town centre and nature.The mill is very close to our hearts, but it is old and run-down. Will you help us repair it and bring back its former beauty? The first written records date back to the 14th century. We can not manage all the work on our own.

    We’re a family of four and we love meeting kind people from around the world. We love travelling and exploring new places.

    We are really looking for someone passionate about children and also happy to work outdoors.
    Please, if you are not comfortable with kids or don’t enjoy gardening/outdoor work, it’s better to look for another project. You must be independent to work on your own and if possible, we will be happy to work with you.

    You’ll stay in a cozy private studio flat just 5 minutes from our home, with shops and restaurants nearby.

    We offer breakfast and lunch, we speak English and Tereza speaks Chinese. In your free time, enjoy nature, explore the city, or take a canoe trip right from our riverbank!

    We welcome individuals, couples, friends, and even families. If you're friendly, helpful, and curious, we’d love to host you!

    Tereza and Roman

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    There are many cultural events and places to socialise in our town. Prague, the capital city, is really close and easy to reach. We will be happy to instruct you how to come to our house from the airport or so.

    We hope to exchange different cultural habits and make some new friends.

    You can easily travel from Prague to different cities in the Czech Republic (Kutna Hora, Karlovy Vary, Brno, Cesky Krumlov etc.), and out of our country, for example Dresden (Germany), Vienna (Austria), Bratislava (Slovakia), Budapest (Hungary). We will be happy to help you with your traveling plans.

    Help

    In general, you will help from Monday to Friday for about 4-5 hours a day and we serve breakfast and lunch.

    Breakfast for you is usually prepared at 8.30 and your help starts at 9.00. We are open to change the times according to your travel plans if you need so.

    You will do some gardening and help around the house. There is always some wood to be cut and chopped however there is a need of diging , constructing etc.

    We appreciate if you watch the kids - Rozárie (born in November 2021) and Viktorie (born in January 2025). Rozárie attends kindergarten twice a week so you may have more time for Viktorie.

    You can do longer hours per days if you want to have more than two days off in a week.

    We have two kids, girls born in November 2021 and January 2025. It will be awesome if you could teach our daughters English and Chinese. We have a very basic level of Spanish, we can not speak fluently but we would like to learn and get better.

    Accommodation

    We offer a studio apartment just 5 minutes far from our house. It is fully equipped. There are two single beds. You will find a possibility to cook in the kitchen, enjoy a balcony and there is a shower with a toilet in the bathroom. If you need to do your laundry, there is a washing machine. The flat is situated on the first floor of a four floor apartment building just in the centre of our town. There is no AC in the flat and we will tell you WIFI password. It is about 5 minutes far from from the river to enjoy walking along the river where you can enjoy watching sunrise or sunset. You can find a picture of our flat in the photos here. We expect you to clean up the flat before you leave!

    What else ...

    Cooking one meal from your country would be very interesting experience for us but it is not a must.

    We can lend you our bikes to explore the area around our house and we can lend you our boat to enjoy the river.

    Please, do not use your mobile phones during breakfast and lunch and during watching our kids.
