  Description

  Together with my sons (born 2007 and 2008), I (born 1971) live in Thun. Thun is surrounded by numerous mountains, lies on Lake Thun, and invites you to linger in nature. We live in a quiet neighborhood, about 15 minutes from the train station. The bus runs to the city approximately every 10 minutes and stops just a 2-minute walk from our home. I have experienced some health challenges, which has meant I haven't always been able to fulfil my household chores as well as I would like. This needs to change... That's why I need some hands-on support to help us transform our house back into a comfortable home, and who knows, maybe even to do some cooking now and then. We cook creatively, meaning we usually have to make something from whatever food rescue finds its way to us. Do you know that life doesn't always go as planned? Are you flexible? Do you like cats and respect that they only want to be petted when they want to be? Do you enjoy cleaning? Are you a team player? Can you immerse yourself in a group setting as well as enjoy spending time alone? Then get in touch! We have a piano that would love to be played. Perhaps you'd also like to sing (healing) songs with me. Maybe you'd even enjoy playing a board game, dice game, or card game with us.
  
  
  Gemeinsam mit meinen Söhnen (2007/8) lebe ich (1971) in Thun.
  
  Thun ist umgeben von zahlreichen Bergen, liegt am Thunersee und lädt zum Verweilen in der Natur ein.
  
  Wir wohnen in einem ruhigen Quartier, rund 15 Minuten vom Bahnhof entfernt.
  
  Der Bus fährt ca. alle 10 Minuten in die Stadt und hält kaum 2 Minuten von unserem Zuhause entfernt.
  
  Gesundheitlich erleb(t)e ich . manch eine Herausforderung.
  
  So kann/ konnte ich meinen haushaltlichen Verpflichtungen nicht immer so nachkommen, wie ich es gerne hätte.
  
  Das soll sich nun ändern...
  
  Darum brauche ich tatkräftige Unterstützung, die uns hilft, unser Zuhause wieder in ein Wohlfühlzuhause zu verwandeln und wer weiss, vielleicht das ein oder andere mal auch zu kochen.
  
  Bei uns wird kreativ gekocht, d.h. es gilt meist aus Dem etwas zu kreieren, was von der Lebensmittelrettung den Weg zu uns findet.
  
  Weisst du, dass das Leben nicht immer so verläuft, wie geplant?
  
  Bist du flexibel?
  
  
  Magst du Katzen und respektierst du, dass sie nur dann gestreichelt werden wollen, wenn es ihnen passt?
  
  Putzt du gerne?
  
  Packst du gerne mit an?
  
  Kannst du dich sowohl in eine Gruppe eingeben, als auch Zeit mit dir selber verbringen?
  
  Dann melde dich doch....
  
  Bei uns steht ein Klavier, das sich freut, wenn es zum Klingen gebracht wird.
  
  Vielleicht hast du auch Lust mit mir zusammen (heilsame) Lieder zu singen.
  
  Vielleicht magst du auch das ein oder andere Brett-, Würfel- oder Kartenspiel mit uns spielen.
