Description
We are Mirriam and Gerard and live in the small village of Ellertshaar. We rent out several group accommodations for groups of 10 to 300 people.
Most groups are primary schools, sports clubs and church associations.
Most groups stay 2 nights and therefore we clean 3 times a week. We organize a lot of activities and we regularly cook for the groups.
We could use help for that!
We have 2 children: Ruben and Elin aged 11 and 9.
