We need help in the garden, buildin shelters, cutting trees etc and feeding ten cats when I (Jana) am not at home. We eat dinner together, breakfast and lunch are more often individual. The work takes 4 hours a day, from 8-12m, the afternoons are free . The nature around Bäretswil is very beautiful for hiking, swimming and skiing in winter. We can provide a nice room in a house with garden and free meals. The bathroom and kitchen is shared with other members of the family.
