    Description

    It would be great if you could help me daily with caring for the animals (2 horses, chickens, rabbits, turtles, 1 dog) and in the garden or forest (professional tree pruning, removing dead wood from the forest, helping with sawing and woodcutting, general woodworking), depending on the season you are with us.

    Estimated workload: 2-5 hours per day, depending on whether you cook for yourself or eat with us.

    There is a parking space for a camper van.

    Your sleeping accommodation is on the ground floor next to your bathroom with a shower. Wi-Fi is limited.

    Meals can be arranged individually; you are welcome to cook and eat with us. We are vegetarian and non-smokers.

    Children are welcome. Unfortunately, no pets, as Lucky, our dog, comes from an animal shelter.

    There is no public transport or shopping in the village where we live.

    The nearest village with public transport and shopping is about 3 km away.

    I'm looking forward to meeting new, wonderful people and making new contacts.
    We live on a small farm in a very rural setting surrounded by meadows and beautiful forests, the perfect retreat to enjoy nature. Our village is also centrally located to larger cities like Bern, Basel, and Lucerne (about an hour's drive from each).

    Es wäre schön wenn du mir täglich bei der Versorgung der Tiere (2 Pferde, Hühner, Kaninchen, Schildkröten, 1 Hund) und im Garten oder Wald (fachgerechtes Zurückschneiden von Bäumen, Entfernen von Totholz aus dem Wald, Hilfe beim Holzsägen und Holzschnittern, allgemeine Walfarbeiten) mithelfen könntest, je nach Saison wo du bei uns bist.

    Geschätzer Arbeitsaufwand 2 - 5 h / Tag, je nach dem ob du dich selber verpflegst oder mit uns isst.

    Es ist ein Stellplatz für ein Wohnmobil vorhanden.
    Deine Schlafmöglichkeit ist im Erdgeschoss neben deinem Bad mit Dusche. Wlan ist bedingt vorhanden.

    Mahlzeiten können wir individuell besprechen, gerne darfst du bei uns mitkochen &-essen, wir leben vegetarisch und sind Nichtraucher.

    Kinder sind möglich. Tiere leider keine, da Lucky unser Hund selber aus dem Tierheim kommt.

    Im Dorf wo wie wohnen hat es keinen öffentlichen Verkehr und keine Einkaufsmöglichkeit.
    Das nächste Dorf mit öffentlichen Verkehr und Einkaufsmöglichkeit ist ca. 3 km entfernt.

    Ich freue mich neue tolle Menschen kennen lernen zu dürfen und neue Kontakte knüpfen zu dürfen.
    Wie wohnen auf einem kleinen Bauernhof, sehr ländlich umgeben von Wiesen und schönen Wäldern, der perfekte Rückzugsort um die Natur zu geniessen, dennoch liegt unser Dorf zentral zu grösseren Städten wie Bern, Basel, Luzern (ca. Je eine Stunde Fahrtzeit).
