    Description

    Hi,
    We are a Alex and Nadine who live with two small toddlers (3 and 1) and a cuddly cat in southern germany in a small town near Stuttgart. We are looking for someone who would like to share family life with us and can help us during the day, since toddlers, work and housework ist a combination which sometimes is just too much for 2 people and we made the experience that already an additional adult in the house makes family life so much easier and less conflict and creates so much more room to do all the housework.

    Good food and living a sustainable life is very important for us, that's why we like too cook fresh and with a lot of vegetables which most of we get from local farmers. We mainly live on a plant based diet which sometimes is supplied by dairy products.

    Last summer we started a small permaculture hill garden which will also take some work this year to grow and develop nicely.

    We live in a house on a hill in a small town. This means we have a lot of sun and quite a nice view. The next larger city is only a 15 minute bicycle ride away and you can also reach stuttgart by public transport in 45 minutes. Our house is quite next to the field and you can enjoy nice sunset walks around. We have a spare room for accommodation and also a separate bathroom to use.

    What you should bring: In the best case you are already experienced with toddlers and share the same values concerning sustainability, nutrition and education.

    We can offer you an insight into a family which tries to live as sustainable as possible with all the challenges that come along managing two small toddlers, work and house work. We speak English fluently and can assist you in learning German (as our kids learn it anyway at the moment ;)).

    Help

    First of all: We would like some company with nice people since having an adult more is already a big help at the moment. If you're open to help more it is also appreciated but ot neccessary. Additional help might include playing with the kids so that we can do housework, do some housework on your own and just be there so that Nadine has some adult company and help during the day when Alex is at work. We also have a lot of (side) projects in and around our house where we definitely need help with to get some progress on these. At the moment our main focus here is on creating a cozy balcony and garden space and doing some garden help.
