    Description

    Hi,
    We are a blended family with 3 children and a large dog. We live in beautiful Groningen, a student city in the north of the Netherlands. From here you can travel by train throughout the Netherlands and you are also close to Germany. Our apartment is a 5-minute walk from the station and 10 minutes from the city center.

    Our dog is a mix of a Labrador and a Great Dane. We are looking for people who would like to come and live here for 2 weeks+- and watch our dog. This would be from April 20 to May 7.

    We are also looking for someone who likes to be here for a while and help around the house and with the kids. The oldest children don't really need a babysitter. They are 12 and 10 years old. They would also not always be present in connection with co-parenting. We would like it if you can speak English with them. They already know it well, but it is very important to us that they can speak it fluently. Our eldest son is very smart and will go to gymnasium after the summer holidays. He does need some challenge. Our 10 year old daughter likes playing games, chatting and real girly things. An extra listening ear would be fantastic for her.
    Our youngest son of 2 years old is always at home. He deserves a lot of attention and love.

    Of course you don't have to be here all the time. You deserve to see the Netherlands and we would love to show you around here in the area.We can let you taste what kind of food we eat here, show you what our culture is. In addition, you will of course receive some money, and a bed to sleep in. This would be in our daughter or son's room, but separated with a wardrobe.
    Do you see yourself coming to stay here for a while? Let us know with a nice message about you / yourself!
