    Help

    We are an Indian couple with a 6 year old son and an 8 year old cat. We live in a 3 storey house with a large garden in the suburbs of Amsterdam. We've successfully hosted several workawayers in the last 4 years.

    We are looking to welcome a workawayer to help us with chores, organisation and caring for our cat. We prefer someone who can stay with us for a minimum of 4 weeks.

    Helping with meal prep, cleaning, organising and caring for the cat will be your primary responsibilities. However we would also like help with some other housekeeping and general maintenance tasks sometimes.

    Some of the areas that we would like help with are listed below. You will work for no more than 5 hours a day (5 days a week).


    General Help around the house:

    - Tidying up child areas / kitchen
    - Helping with laundry
    - Being of assistance in the house such as answering the door, helping with meal times and clearing up
    - Laundry

    Pet Care:
    - Feeding our cat on time
    - Cleaning the litter box

    General home maintenance:
    Are you handy with fixing things around the home? We have some small maintenance tasks that we would love your help with. This is not compulsory. But nice to have.

    We are looking for someone who can help with a combination of the above tasks for approximately 25 hours a week.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    You get a private room with a bed and wardrobe in our home.
    You have access to the kitchen as long as you clean-up after yourself and leave the kitchen tidy. We will often share meals, although this is not always possible. The grocery store is only a 3 minute walk away and you can buy anything you like and store it in our fridge (within reason - our fridge isn't very large).

    Food restrictions:

    Please do not bring red meat or fish inside the home. One of us is vegetarian and cannot handle the smell.
    Chicken and prawns is fine.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    During your off time, you are free to explore Amsterdam's beautiful canals, enjoy the art museums and also travel to nearby cities like the Hague, Leiden, Utrecht, Haarlem etc. These are all under an hour to travel to. You can also easily travel to Belgium, France and Germany through low-cost bus and air services that depart from Amsterdam.
    The Amsterdam Forest is a stone's throw away and it's a great place for nature-lovers.
