  Description

  We are an active, young family that is looking for an easygoing, energetic and responsible person to live with us and support us with mainly housework and some childcare.
  
  We are Philip (32), Sarah (36) and Levin (2). Philips works in IT, Sarah works as a teacher. We both work full-time and want to spend as much of our free time as possible with our son and out in nature. We like to do outdoor activities like hiking, swimming, sailing, skiing.
  
  We have a house just a couple 100m away from the lake, up the hill so you have a nice view. You will have a private room with private bathroom and view over the lake.
  Überlingen, where we live is a cute little town with beautiful nature around. There is a big lake, mountains are close and the city Constance is also not far.
  
  For us it is important that you want to take initiative, think along, communicate well and get involved.
  We don’t want someone that is constantly on their phone, has a very low energy level and is not keen about healthy food. With healthy food we mean meals that consist mainly of vegetables and legume. You should have a good sense of hygiene and enjoy cleaning and tidying up.
  You should be sportive (comfortable in riding a bike and beging a save swimmer) and a non-smoker. If you have any medical issues please let us know in advance. We are looking for some that ideally lives with a longterm. At least a couple of month. You can do work part time online or in Überlingen as long as you have enough time to do the agreed tasks.
  I have one to two weeks of holidays each 6 weeks during that time you can go of and travel or stay at home and do house sitting. Sometimes we will be home to during this time.
