  Description

  Hi my name is Claudia,
  I live in rural Germany, I'm looking for some help in the garden and the house.
  Our family lives in a beautiful wooden house with a big garden and a field. We share our property with seven hens and five quails.
  My husband and I are foresters, he works while I supply our family with delicious home-grown vegetables I'm self-sufficient.
  I have two daughters, they're 24 and 22. My oldest daughter studies Biology in a city two hours from were we live.
  My youngest is travelling the world via workaway. You might meet them, when they're coming home for a visit.
  
  I'm looking for some help with the garden and around the house. It gets very busy in spring and summer and I'm grateful for every helping hand.
  
  We live in a small village surrounded by fields and forests in the northern parts of Bavaria.
  Public transport exists, but it's only three times a day. I'm willing to drop you of at the nearest train station, which is 15 minutes by car. From there you'll have access to all the beautiful cities surrounding us. If you're interested in old and historical cities you'll love it here.
  For example Nürnberg or Bamberg, they have old castles.
  Munich is only 2,5 hours by train if you want to go on a weekend get-away.
  
  We are vegetarians and don't cook with meat and we are non-smokers,
  I cook every day with ingredients from my garden. I like to expand my culinary horizon, if you want to share some recipes.

  Help

  In the springtime there's a lot of weeding to do. The garden, as well as the field, need some tending before the planting and sowing begins. I'll also need some help watering and harvesting.
  The help will vary from month to month.
  If you have experience with gardening it would be great, but if you don't I'm willing to teach you. But you shouldn't be afraid to get your hands dirty.
  The help in the house includes cleaning the windows and helping with the dishes.
  You have two days off a week.
  The hours you work a day may be 4 or 5 hours, but not more than that.

  What else ...

  We grew up around here and have a lot of suggestions on what you can do in your free time.
  Nürnberg, Bamberg and Würzburg are the biggest cities around here, all of them are worth a visit.
  They all have old and historical castles. If you're interested in history you should go see them, there also museums dedicated to all the historical things.
  But they're also great for cafés, shopping or going to the cinema.
  In spring and summer the gardens surrounding the castles are breathtaking.
  Rothenburg is a little further but worth a visit.
  You can reach all the cities by train, I'm happy to drop you off at the train station.
  If you're interested in nature and being outside, there are beautiful walks in the surrounding fields and forests.
