Description
My name is Tom, I'm a native English and French speaker and my partner Geraldine is a native Swiss/German and English speaker from Biel - we live in a lovely neighborhood of Zurich (a city we both love). This year has been full of changes and the added pressure of work and studies, so we're looking for help around the house!
Our son Dean is 2 year old boy, he's in daycare two to three times a week with the rest of the time split between myself, my partner and his grandparents.
We both love spending time outdoors or doing sports, and can recommend many bike tours, trail runs, mountain hikes, train rides, nature swims... We also live 5 minutes away from a beautiful public swimming pool.

Help
We're open to hosting women in the house to help us with:
- cooking (our most important criteria, our ideal workawayer will enjoy cooking healthy recipes for us and our son)
- laundry, ironing (our clothes as well as the baby's)
- household chores (dishwashing, cleaning)
- occasional gardening
- occasional babysitting (staying at home once he sleeps) and support with Dean
It's also important that you are used to being up early (around 7AM) as we leave the house for work before 8 and help preparing Dean's meals in the morning is an important part of the exchange.

Accommodation
We live in a townhouse near Zurich city center (about 15 minutes by tram, the station is a 5 minute walk away from the house) with a small garden and a garage. The second floor of the house is separated by stairs and a door, the space is entirely yours (large bedroom, desk and own bathroom with shower).
What else ...
Switzerland is beautiful in summer and winter, there's no shortage of outdoor activities you can do :)
