Description
Dear traveler,
We are Elien & Bert, an open minded Belgium couple with 2 kids who are living on the countryside in the western part of Belgium. After years of traveling, living abroad, hosting and volunteering ourself we decided to settle down in Belgium for a while in order to give our kids some stability.
We are looking for volunteers to have some extra company for us and the kids and some extra hands to help us with the children and some light works in and around the house. Our oldest son struggles with autism. In anticipation of a place in special education, we have decided to keep him at home several days a week because he quickly becomes overstimulated in a busy classroom. If you have experience with children and a driver licence it is definitely an advantage but your motivation, love and patients is way more important for us. We ask for 6 hours help a day 5days a week. We are flexible to discus if you want more or less hours and on what days you want to take off. We prefer female travelers or couples
In exchange we will provide you all the food you need, a nice place to stay, good vibes and €200 spending mony a week.
