Description
Hi and welcome!
We are a family living in Switzerland with two young children and our dog. Our everyday life is lively, loving and sometimes a little chaotic, as life with young children often is. Our days are a mix of kindergarten routines, time outdoors, meeting friends, family life and all the practical things that come with raising children.
My husband works freelance and travels at times, so much of daily family organization happens through me, while he is very involved whenever he is home. We enjoy a warm, relaxed home atmosphere, value openness, humour and honest communication.
We are simply a family who would love to share a little piece of real everyday life with the right person.

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 support in daily life. We would love to welcome someone who enjoys family life, likes spending time with children and is happy to contribute through small everyday tasks and a warm, supportive presence.
Ideally we are looking for a longer stay (at least 3 months) and feel this would suit a calm, reliable and mature person more than a typical backpacker.
Languages spoken
German: Fluent
English: Intermediate
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.
We are thinking of giving an amount of money for Breakfast and Dinner. Lunch we eat all together.
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.
A longer stay (ideally 3 months or more) would be wonderful, as building trust and connection is important to us. 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.
