  Description

  *** Our kiddies are still young, so we looking for females only to apply please. Thanks ***
  
  We are seeking a dedicated volunteer to join our vibey household as a Workawayer with a proven track record of helping with young children and managing household tasks. We need at least a 2 month committed stay. Depending on extra tasks being done we can offer up to $350 per month for this.
  
  We are a Swiss / South African Family, living close to Zürich city and right by lake Zürich, 500m) and offer a cultural exchange to a lady that loves to be social and open who can look after and play/teach younger children. We speak two languages with our children (Swiss German and English). You of course are part of the family meaning your welcome to eat with us and all living expenses are covered by us.
  
  During the weekends we often explore different Swiss locations or going to meet family/friends, where you are welcome to join us. You have a super nice separate guest room with an on suite bathroom, Apple TV, hispeed internet and you also get your own data simcard. We love to cook but also to try out your local food or having braai (South African word for BBQ).
  
  In exchange for this, we need help to take care of our two lovely little kids (Girl 4.5 and Boy 2.5 years old), cooking and a help with household tasks. You need to have experience and love to play and teach young children as they will in return love you back !! Having a younger sibling is not the experience we looking for.
  
  Screen time is not allowed however you have an arsenal toys and activates that you can use. We have various playgrounds either right outside or around our area. There is also a indoor swimming pool you can use or the local outside swimming pool (Badi).
