    Description

    Hello,

    we're looking for someone to help Joris, 7 years old, with care level 4. We're a special family, and here's a little about us:

    We're a small community in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, about 70km from the sea, 12km from the river, and 8km from the nearest small town. We live in a very secluded area surrounded by nature, yet there's always something going on. We're looking for someone who appreciates a very simple life, peace-loving people, and the great outdoors. We don't have a toilet in the house, no running water in the kitchen, no refrigerator, and we heat with wood and work in our garden. We are a family of 5-7 adults (aged 18-60) and 2 children, both 7 years old: Jonne and Joris. Joris has special needs. He's very cheerful and active and would love to be outside running around all day. We can't always offer him that, so we'd like someone to help us run, play, and sing with him. We live in a house with rooms; you can have one, but we also have caravans if you prefer more privacy. We eat vegan and organic food and always cook and bake fresh, using a lot of ingredients from our own garden. In our free time, we play Jugger, dance traditional dances, have lots of games, and work with friends on their farms.

    If you think, "Great, that's perfect, exactly what I've been looking for!", then get in touch with us soon. We're looking forward to hearing from you. See you soon, Anne.

    Hallihallo,

    wir suchen dich für Joris, 7 Jahre alt, Pflegegrad 4.
    Wir sind eine besondere Familie, hier ist unsere Vorstellung:

    Wir sind eine kleine Gemeinschaft in Mecklenburg Vorpommern, etwa 70km
    vom Meer, 12km vom Fluss und 8km von der nächsten Kleinstadt entfernt.
    Wir leben sehr abgeschieden in wilder Natur, dennoch ist bei uns immer
    etwas los. Wir suchen einen Menschen, der Lust hat auf besonders
    einfaches Leben, friedliebende Menschen und wilde Natur. Wir haben keine
    Toilette im Haus, kein fließendes Wasser in der Küche, keinen
    Kühlschrank und wir heizen mit Holz und arbeiten in unserem Garten. Wir
    sind 5-7 ausgewachsene Personen von 18-60+ und 2 Kleinen, die je 7 Jahre alt
    sind. Jonne und Joris. Joris ist ein Kind mit besonderem Bedarf. Er ist
    sehr fröhlich und aktiv und will am liebsten den ganzen Tag draußen sein
    und laufen. Das können wir ihm nicht immer bieten, daher wünschen wir
    uns eine Person, die uns dabei unterstützt, mit ihm zu laufen, zu toben,
    zu singen. Wir wohnen in einem Haus mit Zimmern, davon kannst du eins
    haben, aber es gäbe auch Bauwägen, wenn du lieber mehr für dich bist.
    Wir essen vegan und bio und kochen und backen immer frisch, vieles aus
    dem eigenen Garten. In unserer Freizeit spielen wir Jugger, tanzen
    traditionelle Tänze, spielen viel und arbeiten mit Freunden auf deren
    Höfen.

    Wenn du denkst, spitze, das passt, genau das hab ich gesucht!, dann melde dich schnell bei uns. Wir sind gespannt auf dich, bis bald,
    Anne.
