Description
Hello!
We are a residential community, my business partner, the mother of my partner and I. My partner has a shop with furniture and boats. We live in a small town near the North Sea in Ostfriesland. You must be comfortable around older people, since our team isn't the youngest anymore. Furthermore we have two dogs, Golden Retriever, they are very young and full of power..
We've got an old farmhouse which is combined with the furniture and boat shop. Our garden is quite large with a small pond, a couple of trees and other plants. Furthermore we have vacations flats.
In the morning at 9 o'clock you have to go with the dogs, ervery day in the week. After that we have breakfast. In the late afternoon or in the evening we have together dinner. You can join us for the meals just like everyone else from the family In the meantime if you are hungry you are welcome to have a small snack.
In the afternoon we can do something together, learn German, go shopping, visit something or you can do your own things as you like. In the evening we like to sit on our terrace, drink beer and grill.
Our shop is open from Tuesday til Saturday. At the weekend, you are welcome to join us too. We go often fishing with our boat, it will be a good opportunity to learn German. If we have a business trip you can come with us. We often go to the Netherlands.
You have to help with the cleaning from house and garden. We pay a generous pocket money.
If you are interested, feel free to contact us and ask questions. We would be delighted if you could help us out for some time.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Ostfriesland is a special region with its own culture. You would obviously spend time helping us, but in your free time, there are different ways in which you can benefit from staying with us. For example, you could learn or improve your german. As well as this, this region is a very popular Tourist Destination and there are loads of nice things you can do. We have a call bus in Aurich. You have to pay 1 € for the transport in Aurich and environment. Our workawaye takes the bycycle and is every weekend on trip with the 49 € tickel pro month. He knows all the big cities in Northern Germany.
Help
In the morning before breakfast you have to take our dog, Sam and Susi per dog 30 minutes.
We are looking for someone who likes to help in the garden and in the household.
Normally, you have to work 5 hours 5days per week from Monday til Saturday. Sometimes it is necessary to work a whole day, then you have another day free in the week. The normal working time is from 9 a.m
until 16 pm with one hour break. We are a business household and so, sometimes we have to be flexible and require you to be so too.
