Description
We are a friendly and easy going family of five. Living 45 minutes from the city Groningen by bike on a 3 hectare natural garden surrounded by a national forest. We offer a chalet with two bedrooms on our property and we look for an individual or ideally a couple who would like to really be a member of our family during your stay. We both work on irregular times and hope to find someone who can help us with the kids, chores and the garden. We have beautifull hiking and mountainbike trails starting at our front door so if you like the outdoors this is a perfect place!
In our spare time we both like the outdoors, have camp fires and in summer of course a barbecue dinner outside.
Our kids are 3, 6 and 9 years old and they will be around the house and in the garden every day and the main focus will be on them during your stay.

Help
During your stay we would love to find someone or a couple who can help us out with the kids when we are both at work and help with the garden and small projects in and on the house and in the garden. We ideally look for someone who is responsible, have experience with children and is also willing to do some light chores in the house like the laundry and light tasks in the garden. In return you will have your own tiny house on our property which gives everyone a lot of privacy.

Accommodation
We offer a chalet (tiny house) with total privacy, two bedrooms, a kitchen and bathroom. We can have dinner together a few times a week but if you would like to prepare meals for yourself you will get a daily allowance to provide your own food. There is also a barbecue you can always use and you have a small private garden with a fire place.
What else ...
There is a bus stop 2 km from the house where a bus van bring you to Groningen and a train station 8 km from the house with a train to Amsterdam which takes around 2 hours. We have bikes you can use and when we are available we are both always willing to take you to the supermarket or bus stop by car.
