Help
Most important to us is that someone staying with us is interested in bonding with the kids and playing with them.
We are looking for someone to help us with the kids in the afternoon (driving to after school activities and baby sitting some days). Also small help around the house. In exchange you will have your own room and bathroom on the first floor and get all inclusive food. We are open for learning about different cultures and showing people who come to us around the city and mabye go a little outside the city for sightseeing.
