Details

Description
We are a family of two: myself and my 2,5 yo daughter. We live in a spacious home with a town garden in the center of Veurne (a small city near the coast of Belgium). Our house underwent an ecological renovation and is becoming a very nurturing space to be in. I am currently starting my new life as a fulltime blogger and homeschooling mom. If you feel called to come and give us a hand, we can certainly use some help with childcare, cooking, housework and some assisting with making recordings for the blogs. My areas of blogging are parenting/homeschooling, natural cooking, and lifestyle. Our time is flexible so fitting in some joint or single exploration of our Belgian cities or being with nature is at your fingertips when you decide to come.

Help
you are certainly welcome if you have experience with carpentry. We always have some projects waiting.

You are certainly welcome if you have a profound interest in pedagogy and parenting. maybe as a parent or as a student.
I know some single parents are finding it hard to find a workaway experience because they need to care for their child. I believe We should be able to make things work if you bring a child.

You are certainly welcome if you have experience with photography or film.

You are certainly welcome if you have experience with vegetarian cooking.

Lisa takes good care of her young daughter Hannah, who I fell in love with. I enjoyed spending time with Hannah. Lisa and her daughter accompanied me on my trip to Ghent and showed me around. Lisa also… read more

Liza and Hannah are awesome! I learned a lot from my time with them. I spent a week with them and greatly enjoyed it. Hannah is a delight and even though we didn't speak the same language, we still managed to connect and have some fun together. Liza is very motivated and brimming with ideas. I don't know how she gets so much done! She was a… read more

I had my own private room in her house and had lots of free time to go and explore the town. She even drove me to other cities on her way to work so that I could explore. Liza is a… read more

Angelo is peaceful to have in the house. He is very willing to help as long as he is comfortable with the job you are asking of him. He wants his work to have a solid quality and that is a characteristic that suits him. He is still working hard on his English and very willing to learn. I would recommend to take the extra minute to explain yourself… read more

I spent a month with Liza and Hannah, and I was really good. Unfortunately the maximum feedback is excellent but I would say super-excellent. Hannah is a wonderful and sweet child, was funny play with her, I fell in love with her. Liza is a great woman, she cooks many good things, she had never made Hannah lack in anything, cause Hanna steals all… read more
