    We are now looking for someone to join us for a while, for some help around the house(hold) and in exchange we have a wonderful room with separate entrance and bathroom for you to stay in.

    You would do some chores and help around the house (cooking, laundry). This would definitely not be a full time help and we are open to discuss the specific tasks in which you can best contribute.
