  Help

  We would love to invite someone into our house who could help take care and entertain our young girls for the summer, anywhere from June onwards. Charlotte will be 4 years in June, and is very curious and loves to talk. She will ask many questions, mostly about flowers, trees, animals and insects. She speaks Dutch, Russian and is starting to speak English. Laurence is the youngest and will be 2 in October. She is very independent and loves to walk by herself in the garden and point at every bird she sees. Both girls, love to listen to stories and love to go walking to the forest.
  The girls are not allowed to watch television or other entertainment screens, so they can immerse themselves in what's happening around them and spent much time outside. Due to the absence of school during these times, we would appreciate someone to help us out with taking care of the girls. We would appreciate if you could help out with serving breakfast to the girls and help clean the breakfast table. In return you are welcome to join us for all meals, which will be prepared, and additionally we will offer 50eu/week. If you are able to join us for a longer time period, we can discuss for you to take a whole weekend off if you wish.
