    Description

    I live with my two children (twins, 7 years old) and our dog (Labrador) in an eco-friendly neighbourhood with vibrant community life. Since the father of the children recently moved out and I work quite a lot (partly from home), I can need help getting organised, keeping up with the household and doing things with the kids.

    My children are free learners and visit a small democratic school in Bern together with some other kids that live in the neighbourhood. I practice gentle parenting and hope you would be interested in this parenting approach. The kids live at their father all Monday and Tuesday and I work all day these days, so that's when you would be off, if this suits you as well.

    I try to live sustainably, but there're many different ways to do so. I buy mostly local, all organic food. We get our dairy, meat and veggies from a local regenerative farm with calves living with their mothers. I'm currently learning to become a hunter because I love being in and learning about nature and I think this is the most sustainable meat someone can eat. I welcome meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans equally, as long as you are accepting of our lifestyle.
