Description
We are a family of 4: me, Joachim my husband, my daughter 12y and my son 7y. Joachim is a musician, singing and playing very special guitars. More you find on YouTube and at . I am a Grinberg Method Practitioner, working with people who want to gain more well being through their body. Reducing pain, stress etc. More you find at . And our children are just two little heartwarming, lively creatures!
We bought a house outside of Gloggnitz, a nice little City in lower Austria, 1hour from Vienna. We have a wonderful, big Garden with 1500m². This we cultivate , to live from it all year round. Which is a lot of work. The house still needs a lot of maintainance and some renovation. Also the fences and other outside parts need painting etc.
I would like to have new people around, to get a wider cultural impact on my kids. Especially I am interested in well English speakers, that the kids benefit in their English learning. I would like to get some help in our very busy life, to share experience and have great time together in our beautiful surrounding, maybe doing some hikes together.
For sure we fit only to people who like kids and nature. But this does not mean, that we expect from every workaway person child care. There would be a lot of craft work too.
We go to bed normally around 10 as the kids wake up early, but this doesn't mean that our guests have to do it also. As they get a private area to sleep in a seperate house.
We are no vegetarians but we don't eat much meat. But I can adapt my cooking to special requirements if needed.Types of help and learning opportunities
Language practiceGardeningDIY and building projectsBabysitting and creative playHelp around the houseGeneral MaintenanceCultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are living on a very nice place, which is also a good base for going to the Mountains,climbing, exploring nature or going to Vienna. There is a bikeway directly passing where you can follow our beautiful River, the Schwarza very far. We love our river to hang out and swim a bit. I am quite skilled in gardening and in the use of wild plants for eating and as medicine. I cook very good and we can show you around. In case you come in a time, where Joachim plays concerts, you can join him and enjoy great concerts. I can share a bit of my professional knowing about humans and bodies. In case it fits timewise, I take you to my parents´farm in styria.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We could need all kind of help. But we don't expect that one person helps us in all aspects- from childcare to Renovation.
We need help in:
House work
Playing, talking English with the kids
Garden work
Doing some little building work in the Garden
We would have many little Renovation works to be done
We have painting work
So we could fit to a guy, ready to help me with the strength needing work in the Garden, wanting to use his leasure time for going climbing etc. As well as to a woman who is mainly in love with children, who wants to explore cultural sites in her freetime, and relaxing in the sun.Languages

I am interested in someone with good English, that my kids can improve with their English skills.Accommodation
The garden is big, for camping, caravans and we have a lovely open tree house to sleep in summer. We have an extra house, but this includes my husbands studio and my working centre. So just on days without clients, it would be available for sleeping.
What else ...
The Train Station is 15 min walk away, We are directly on a bike Road, beside a beautiful river with a lot of wild life. We are a perfect station to explore cultural life towards Vienna and the mountains are close.

The family was here for me, we did and we shared many things together. I didn't really know how to talk German before, but I learned it with the family and children and I came back with some notions.
It was a perfect time, a good exchange… read more
