Help
My parents are away all summer and we need someone interested in helping to maintain an acreage for an extended period this summer asap. Must be reliable and fond of 1-2 year old boys. Preferably is fluent in German (or Austrian/Swiss). Duties will include some mild gardening, babysitting 2 days a week, some minor maintenance work and painting as well as minor housework. Although you will have an entire house on an acreage 6km out of town to yourself most of the time, some family may come and go at times. Lisa, Artur and I live in town in our own house, and will host as needed.
