  Help

  We bought our house just two years ago and we are still in the renovating process. My husband is a carpenter and is doing most of the work by himself. Our garden is big and still a bit wild and could use some more care. And as I work in 24h shifts, the kids are happy about any entertainer and friend. So if you are interested in taking part in german family life and in addition to that, have some gardening skills, interests in pets or handycrafts , you are more than welcome. We could use any kind of help, and we will sure find something that will work for all of us and something that we are all comfortable with. We are expecting 4 hours help 5 days a week in exchange for food and accomondation.
