  Description

  🌿 Workaway opportunity in Switzerland 🌿 (women only)
  
  We are a family with two young children and a dog living in the Swiss countryside, looking for someone kind, reliable and independent who would enjoy sharing a little bit of everyday life with us for a while.
  
  At the moment, we are mainly looking for practical everyday support — things like preparing simple meals, helping keep the kitchen and home organized, occasional help with cleaning, walks with the dog and simply helping make daily family life feel a little lighter overall 😊
  
  The children are naturally part of everyday life here, but we are not looking for a full-time nanny or constant childcare.
  
  We imagine around 4–5 hours of help during weekdays. Evenings and weekends are generally free.
  
  We offer:
  ✨ private room
  ✨ food included
  ✨ calm Swiss countryside
  ✨ relaxed family atmosphere
  
  This could suit someone who enjoys simple family life, nature, cooking and being part of a real everyday environment for a little while 🌿

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Living with us offers a cultural exchange through real everyday family life in Switzerland. A Workawayer could experience our daily rhythms, family traditions, local life and the beautiful nature around us. We enjoy sharing meals, conversations and simple everyday moments, and there is often the possibility to meet friends and be part of our social life as well.
  
  We would be happy to share our language, our culture and family life, and in return we are curious to learn from other perspectives, experiences and cultures. For us, cultural exchange happens especially through living together, sharing everyday life and learning from one another.

  Help

  We are a family from Buerglen TG in Switzerland with two children (2 & 5) and a dog, looking for some extra support in daily life. We would love to welcome someone who enjoys family life and is happy to help with small everyday tasks in a natural and uncomplicated way.
  
  We are mainly looking for support during weekdays for around 4–5 hours per day, while evenings and weekends are generally free.
  
  Ideally we are looking for a longer stay (at least 2 months) and feel this would suit a calm, reliable and mature person more than a typical backpacker.

  Accommodation

  We offer a private, lockable room in a separate upper floor area next to small office spaces used quietly during the day. There is access to a shared kitchen and bathroom in this area, and evenings are generally very peaceful.
  
  The accommodation offers a good balance of being close to family life while also having your own private retreat and space.

• 

  What else ...

  We would especially welcome someone who enjoys family life, values open communication and is looking for a meaningful exchange rather than just a place to stay.
  
  We are happy to arrange a video call beforehand to get to know each other and see if it feels like a good fit for everyone.
