  Description

  Moin from Baltrum!
  
  We are Merle and Ben, a laid-back family who loves life on the car-free North Sea island of Baltrum. Our two little boys, Ibbo (almost 4) and Henk (almost 2), are happy little explorers who love to play and discover nature.
  
  We run a vacation rental business, a restaurant, and a café here – all with a small, well-coordinated team. Our daily life is diverse, and we’re looking for your support to provide our boys with a loving and joyful environment while we work.
  
  Baltrum is a special place: small, idyllic, and completely car-free. Cycling is a great skill to have to explore the island at a relaxed pace. In the meantime, you can enjoy the tranquility of nature, the beach, and the sea.
  
  If you’d love to become part of our family, lend a helping hand, and experience island life, we’d be happy to hear from you! 😊

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Baltrum is a little paradise in the middle of the Wadden Sea – a car-free island where everything runs at a relaxed pace. Whether you're chilling on the beach, exploring by bike, or simply enjoying the fresh sea breeze, this is the perfect place to unwind without worrying about traffic, crowded streets, or noisy city life.
  
  There are plenty of playgrounds, and the island is very child-friendly overall. But there’s also something for young people: youth clubs, kite and surf schools, SUP and kayak rentals – and, of course, beach parties and other fun events. Most of those are hosted by us, so you’re definitely in the right place. 😉

  Help

  Your primary responsibility will be to support us in the afternoons and evenings by taking care of our two boys or occasionally looking after them on your own. Playing, crafting, painting, kneading, puzzling – all the fun activities! But, of course, tidying up afterward is also important.
  
  You’ll help prepare dinner and assist with bedtime around 8 PM. Every two nights, we give the boys a bath – in summer, this might be needed daily when they come back from the beach covered in sand and salt. We’d love to have your help with that as well.
  
  In total, you’ll work a maximum of 6 hours per day, and the mornings are completely free for you while the kids are at kindergarten.
  
  What we offer you:
  Pocket money 💰
  Your own room with a private bathroom 🏡
  A personal bicycle 🚲
  Discounts at partner businesses on the island (surf school, kite school, SUP rental, cafés, bars, etc.) 🌊
  The opportunity to enjoy the peace and nature of Baltrum 🌿🏖️
  And of course, we’ll support you in learning German! 🇩🇪📚
  We’re excited to welcome you to our island life! 😊
