  Description

  We live in a small village on the edge of the Natural Park Western Forests.
  We offer our workawayers their own holiday apartment in Schwabmünchen. The apartment has a large living area with kitchen, 1 bedroom for 2 persons and a bathroom. There is no WLAN in the appartement but there is free public WLAN in the city. You will live there independently, buy your food and cook for yourself (there are grocery shops, restaurants and cafes nearby). You would have to help us for a total of 14 hours a week and you can allocate this time in consultation with us. We have a list where you can enter your hours. For example, you can help 4-5 hours for 3 days and then take the rest of the week off to explore the area and make excursions.
  In your holiday apartment you have your peace, also the other parties in the house appreciate the peace.
  We live 3 km away and will be happy to meet you when you come to our house to help.
  
  With our bike you get to our house and the train station, from where you can do a lot. Visit the historical city of Landsberg (17 km from us) or Augsburg with its unique watersystem, Unesco World Heritage (25 km from us), Munich (60 km from us), the Bavarian Alps with lots of wonderful mountains (eg Nebelhorn in Obertsdorf, 114 km). Lakes for swimming, bikeways and walkways are nearby. Only a few meters away is an outdoor swimming pool. Many museums, churches such as Unesco World Heritage Wieskirche (72 km) and the royal castles of Neuschwanstein, Hohenschwangau (88km), Linderhof Castle (98km) are waiting for you!
  
  We, Antonie (1965) and Günter (1954) have a son, Florian (2000), who suffers from severe epilepsy and is cared for at home by specialist staff (you don´t have to do any nursing).
  
  Do you have one or more of the following abilities or interests?
  You want to help us keep our house clean and tidy? (eg the windows need some love)
  You know social media and would like to help us find even more staff for our son? (we have an instagram account where we search for more staff)
  You like to get involved in the social field and learn how we deal with disabled persons in Germany?
  You like to bake or cook? (usually Antonie or Günter is cooking)
  You can fix broken things? (usually Günter fixes)
  Or do you prefer ironing and washing clothes?
  Would you like to read for our son? Maybe he loves the sound of your language? Or you could read in german to practice the language!
  You like to make music? Our son loves music and is always happy when someone plays or sings for him or makes music with him. You will never be alone with him, there is always professional staff around.
  
  Have you discovered anything that appeals to you? Then we look forward to receiving your application! Our friend Lisa, who has been a workaway host for many years, will answer your request.
  
  We look forward to your helping hand! Become part of our team!
  Antonie and Günter
