    Hello and a nice day!
    Thank you for reading your profile. The next months we have different tasks we are searching help for and not all take place in Berlin. Some take place mostly in Brandenburg, approx. 1,5h away from Berlin.

    The work we need help with (5 hours per day, 5 days a week):
    1.) We have a little old house in Brandenburg (Oderbruch: 1,5h drive away from Berlin). We are have a lot to do in the house and big garden and we need help in October with the garden (for example, digging, getting soil to the garden, plant flower bulbs, a lot of weeding, care for seedling,...)and help in the house (its still a lot to do in and around the house). Painting, really a lot of cleaning etc. If you have special talents (i.e. sewing) please tell us.
    2.) Construction help in a little gardenhouse in Berlin, together with Silvian.
    3.) Babysitting (our daughter with Down Syndrom, 14 years old), English conversation and help with school Englisch for our 17 year old daugher, help with hometasks like cleaning, cooking, etc.

    Where do you stay:
    During your stay in the Oderbruch you would sleep in the house . The house has only wood heating. There is a very good WLAN. Sometimes you will also stay there alone in the house. It is a very little village surrounded with great nature.
    There is the possibility that you can visit Berlin and sleep in our flat right in the center of Berlin for a few days. The flat is situated right in the middle of Berlin, near Museumsinsel, Hackescher Markt and Alexanderplatz. You are located between stations of subways and trams, citytrains and busses. Two cats are living in the flat, too. You can use the WLAN in our flat permanetly._


    Who are we:
    We are a family of 4: Two wonderful daughters: One is 14 years old and has Down-syndrome the other one is 17 and we two: Silvian and Christiane. In addition 2 friendly cats live with us in the apartment. Both my husband and I are working professionally often from home.

    We have no special diet, we just try to eat healthy food. In case that you are vegetarian we like to adjust during our stay:-)

    We are looking forward to read your message.

    With kind regards
    Silvian and Christiane
