    Description

    Dear Workaway community,

    We love travelling and working - just like you! Unfortunately, we're a little short on travelling at the moment. Because we now have our own organic sourdough bakery, and there's a lot to do at the moment!
    Before founding the bakery, we spent 18 months travelling around Europe to visit bakeries and gain experience. We came back a year ago and have been planning, organising, etc. ever since - until we opened our organic sourdough bakery in mid-April. We also moved house - and have a little daughter. As you can see, there's always a lot going on here!
    The little mouse is one year old and usually goes to childcare in the mornings - except when the childminder is on holiday. We need help especially for these times of the year, with the little one and in the household. In addition, our flat is unfortunately not quite ready yet because every spare minute is currently being used for the bakery.
    Michael (boss and master baker) works full-time in the bakery, Marianne (boss) manages the whole shop (staff, marketing, office,...)

    We live in a beautiful flat (with mountain views); the nearest lake is 15 minutes away by bike, the mountains a maximum of 30 minutes by car.
    We also have a horse with which you can do ground work or go for a ride if you like.

    We would really appreciate your help in the household and with childcare and of course we would love to show you our neighbourhood and our (Bavarian) culture!


    Liebe Workaway-Comunity,

    wir lieben das Reisen und Arbeiten – so wie ihr! Das Reisen kommt jedoch gerade leider etwas zu kurz. Denn wir haben nun eine eigene Bio-Sauerteig-Bäckerei, in der es momentan jede Menge zu tun gibt!
    Vor der Gründung waren wir 18 Monate auf Europareise, um Bäckereien zu besuchen und Erfahrungen zu sammeln. Vor einem Jahr sind wir zurückgekommen und haben seitdem geplant, organisiert, usw. – bis wir unsere Bio-Sauerteig-Bäckerei Mitte April eröffnet haben. Außerdem sind wir umgezogen – und haben eine kleine Tochter. Wie du siehst, bei uns ist immer viel los!
    Die kleine Maus ist ein Jahr alt und geht normalerweise vormittags in die Kinderbetreuung – außer, wenn die Betreuerin Urlaub hat. Speziell für diese Zeiten im Jahr brauchen wir Unterstützung, mit der Kleinen und im Haushalt. Außerdem ist unsere Wohnung leider noch nicht ganz fertig, weil gerade jede freie Minute für die Bäckerei drauf geht.
    Denn Michael (Chef und Bäckermeister) arbeitet Vollzeit in der Bäckerei, Marianne (Chefin) managet den ganzen Laden (Personal, Marketing, Büro,…)

    Wir wohnen übrigens in einer wunderschönen Wohnung (mit Bergblick); zum nächsten See sind es 15 Minuten mit dem Fahrrad, in die Berge max. 30 Min mit dem Auto.
    Außerdem haben wir ein Pferd, mit dem du, wenn du magst, Bodenarbeit machen oder ausreiten gehen kannst.
    Wir würden uns wirklich sehr über deine Unterstützung im Haushalt und bei der Kinderbetreuung freuen und dir natürlich sehr gern unsere Gegend und unsere (Bayerische) Kultur zeigen!
