  • Description

    Description

    We are a family of 4, actually 8 if we would count our cats, which we do. Our household is always busy, and we need help with it, and frequently also with the maintenance of our house and garden. We live in a nice beach town close to Haarlem. Not only is the town very cozy, the environment is very beautiful too. Besides the beach, there are the dunes, lots of beautiful walking areas including and a national park with wildlife like deers.

    Currently we also need help for renovating our garage. We want to convert this into a living space.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    As a family, we are international orientated and have travelled all over the world and therefore have some understanding about other cultures. But not enough; we really would like to know more about other cultures and can show you ours. We can help you develop your language skills in Dutch or English. We know what it means to travel with a low budget and can give tips how to explore the Netherlands, for which you will have ample time.

    Help

    Since we are a family that is traveling a lot, internationally orientated and are very busy with work and school, we could use some help in and around the house. That's why we always like to have some workawayers around to help us with the household, to bring our youngest daughter sometimes to school or sport, in some cases give some language lessons (depending our your native language).

    We offer a private room with a sink. The bathroom is shared. There are two rooms for workawayers on the same floor. Food will be provided. You normally would prepare/cook your own breakfast and lunch, but we will dine together on weekdays (Monday to Thursday). In the weekend you have to cook your diner (obviously with ingredients we will provide).

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Our town is a nice and safe place and easy to walk or cycle in. There are lots of bars, some "dutch-style" coffee shops and many restaurants, including those on the beach. It is a very touristic place in summer. It is located in the most western part of the center of the Netherlands, therefore all important cities are less than one hour by train or bus. Amsterdam is about 25 kilometers away (about 30 minutes by train, a bit more by bus).
