Description
Hello! We are Gerwin (34) and Coraly (29) and we live together with our two daughters, Yara (2) and Roxy (1), in the beautiful village of Bergentheim in the Netherlands. Our home is surrounded by forest and nature, which makes it a peaceful and special place to live.
We enjoy the quiet outdoor life and spend a lot of time in our garden and around the house. Our property has a large landscape garden and a swimming pool that we love to maintain and improve. There is always something to do outside, and we enjoy working on our place to make it even nicer.
As a Workawayer, you would mainly help us in the garden, with general outdoor tasks, and occasionally assist with small DIY projects in and around the house. We're currently renovating our home, so there's always something to do. Most of the work is outdoors, but now and then there are also indoor renovation projects. We enjoy working together in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
You will stay in our guest accommodation with your own bedroom, private toilet and shower, so you will have your own space. We look forward to meeting travelers who enjoy nature, like working outdoors, and would like to experience family life in the Dutch countryside. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We enjoy welcoming people from different cultures and sharing experiences. During your stay you will have the chance to experience daily life in the Netherlands. We like to talk, share stories and sometimes have meals together. We are also happy to give tips about the area, places to visit and things to do nearby.
For us, Workaway is not only about help with tasks, but also about meeting new people, learning about different cultures and creating a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. -

Help
We are looking for help with various light tasks around the house and in the garden. Tasks may include:
- Mowing the lawn
- Weeding and hoeing the garden
- Pruning plants and bushes
- Cleaning and maintaining the swimming pool
- Raking leaves and keeping the garden tidy
- Small painting or maintenance help
- Helping organize or tidy the shed or garage
- Occasionally helping with small tasks in and around the house
The help is varied and mostly outdoors. Sometimes we work together on tasks, which can be a nice way to learn new skills and share experiences. No special experience is required; motivation and a positive attitude are more important. -

Accommodation
Workawayers will stay in a guest accommodation above the garage. It has a private bedroom, a bathroom with shower and toilet, and there is also a sauna available. The space is comfortable and offers privacy during your stay.
We provide food for our Workawayers and arrange meals together depending on the day and everyone's schedule. Sometimes we prepare and enjoy meals together, while at other times Workawayers may prepare their own breakfast or lunch. Dinner is often a shared meal when possible, as we enjoy cooking and eating together as part of the cultural exchange. We're flexible and like to discuss what works best for everyone. -
