    Description

    Welcome to the Countryside!
    We are a warm-hearted family of four – Sandra (34), Benjamin (37), our son John (5), and baby Leon (2 months) – living in Pirow, a small rural village in Brandenburg, Germany, located about 150 km from both Hamburg and Berlin.
    We are currently looking for a female helper to support us with household tasks, light gardening, and childcare. If you're friendly, helpful, and enjoy being around children, we would love to hear from you!

    What we’re looking for:
    • Non-smoker, no drugs, no alcohol
    • Legal entry to Germany
    • Valid health insurance
    • Good German skills (at least B1) so you can communicate with John
    • Fluent English (at least B2) – ideally, you can help teach John some English
    • Reliable, honest, and respectful
    • No parties
    Looking to stay longer in Germany?
    Perfect! We are hoping for someone who can stay with us for 8 to 12 months.
    Are you interested? We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
    Warm regards,
    Sandra & Benjamin

    Your tasks (approx. 5 hours per day, 5 days per week, with 2 days off):

    • Washing and ironing laundry
    • Light gardening tasks
    • Childcare for John (about 2 hours per day)

    We are both self-employed and our office is located directly on our property, so someone is always nearby to ask for help. However, we enjoy nature and peace in our free time, so we’re looking for someone who is independent and doesn’t expect to be entertained.
