Description
We are a busy, lively family living in the Northern countryside of the Netherlands on a farm (with no farming business). We could use some help with our kids (12,12,10,6 years old) and would love to show around our beautiful Dutch country and culture. If you are able to help out with the kids, and hopefully teach them some English or Spanish, appr. 3 days a week. You (and a frend ?) will find a great place to stay and you can wander around our country. We live 20 km North from the city of Groningen, a lively student city. Having a drivers license would be good to get around. We have a spare and private guest-room. For us it would be great to find someone joining our family for a while. We don't aspect you to work you ass off, but do help out in household and kids. This way we can have some slack in busy times and you take the chance to get to know the Netherlands.
We think most suitable your age is 20 years and up. Together or alone is fine.
We are positive, easy going, enthusiastic and always keen on new adventures
