    Description

    Solo mum looking for a female helper In May 2026 to help with the house, the cooking and the garden
    I'd love somebody that could sand (with a machine) and re-oil the garden door, help with some wall painting of the shed, gardening, painting inside the house, trim the hedges, mow the lawn, clean the terrace etc

    My hands are full with my toddler, so I will need help also with the daily chores such as cooking, dry, fold and put away the laundry, tidy up the house, prepare the baby meals, cook healthy snacks for him, clean the house when needed (also have a cleaning lady but sometime toddler can do a mess)

    I am looking for somebody handy and with vegetable garden experience

    I am still +- new with work away but I traveled myself a full year with another help exchange program and I loved it. I love the cultural exchange and the feeling I had as being part of a community or a family during my stays.

    Please if you are interested staying with me
    - describe yourself and the help you can bring
    - your experience
    - give me your travelling dates and/or when you'd like to stay

    I offer a very cosy stay, near all commodities in a nice area of the city near the parks and forest.
    In exchange, I'd need your help almost everyday (at lest for the cooking part). Your days off would be Sundays and Mondays.

    Also I cannot answer all the messages so if you don't take the time to describe a bit what you're looking for, it's very probable that I won't answer.

    Sheers

    I'd love to have some help with the house, the garden, the baby, and the cats....

    I am looking for a solo travelling girl that would be interested in staying with me and the baby for minimum 2-3 weeks. I offer the stay in exchange of 10-15 hours of help per week. We can agree on days off together and see how this would work best.
