Open-minded, easy-going family of seven in the suburbs of Warsaw, Poland

Details

• 

  Description

  We are open-minded, easy-going family of 7 (5 kids -9yo, 7yo, 5yo, and twins - 3,5yo), which enjoys spending time together and smiles a lot. In the past we travelled a lot. To tell you a few examples we travelled from California to Colombia with our first son being a baby, and we went all the way to Tajikistan from Poland (with our own car), taking two little boys with us. Recently we lead less mobile life, which doesn't mean we are less happy. We love spending our free time in an active way, take kids on local trips, explore Poland and Europe - there are so many things to experience! Sleeping in a tent in the middle of nowhere is something we truly love.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We speak Polish at home, our kids don't know much English, but we definitely do not expect our helper to know our language. On the contrary, we would love to enrich our family life with a new language - ideally English (not necessarily native English), but Spanish or German are also ok - we (me and Michal) speak those languages.

  Help

  We would love our Workawayer to be a warm-hearted and responsible person, with patient and positive approach to kids.It would be great if you have ideas on how to engage kids in playing with you, if you take them on a short cycling trip and play with them on a playground.
  
  Our kids are at kindergaten /school until ca. 15.00. Magda finishes her work (mostly done from home) just after 16.00, but is often involved in driving some children to the swimming pool /gymnastics etc. If you have driving licence and feel familiar with driving maybe you could help us with it.
  
  Saturday and Sunday are off days, you organise it yourself. Let us get in touch and we will discuss everything.
  
  Additionally, I may ask you to help us with some house work, for example: prepare meals, clean after the meals, put the dishes into washing mashine or do the laundry etc. And I am pretty much sure we can set the daily schedule in a way good for everyone.
  
  We would like to offer you 300EUR of pocket money
  
  We end a person starting from September, but would also consider help for June or July. In August we plan to go on holidays.
