  • Description

    Description

    We live here with our children (ages 1 and 4) in a townhouse right on the edge of the forest in 8427 Rorbas. The kids are very lively, and we’re looking for someone who enjoys playing with them and resolving conflicts in a fun way. In our household, everyone is treated as an equal—children and adults alike—and we always try to find solutions that work for everyone. We get along really well.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    It would be great if we could help each other learn languages. I’m a consultant in attachment- and needs-based parenting, so I know a lot about that. We can definitely get together for some socializing.

    Help

    We’re looking for someone to play with the kids. I work from home, usually late into the evening, and then catch up on some sleep in the morning. One of the kids is very emotional—he’s very smart but experiences his feelings very intensely. So we need someone who can stay calm and find playful, fun ways to resolve conflicts

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    There is a swimming pool in the village, and Zurich or Kloten Airport can be reached by bus or train (30 min.). The Rhine Falls in Schaffhausen are 30 minutes away from here and also Germany is 30 minutes by car.

    We place a high value on cleanliness, though keeping things tidy isn’t always easy with the kids. We try to speak to each other kindly (we don’t punish or reward the children; instead, we explain things to them and set a good example). We are non-smoker , hope you too :)
