We are a family of 5 (plus a dog) living on the outskirts of Düsseldorf (S-Bahn a 1 minute walk).
We have 3 children (9, 17 & 18) and are looking for support in the house with household chores, cooking, ironing, gardening, driving, helping to support the children with their homework and my business as I work from home.
The accommodation offered would be very comfortable, a bedroom with a bathroom in the main house. We had a couple of students from all over the world to stay with us to learn German we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We are looking for someone with a sense of humour who is happy to muck in with an uncomplicated but energetic family. There is never a dull moment with us and we often have visitors.
The location is well connected by train and you would be in the centre of Dusseldorf in 10 minutes. It is a beautiful area with plenty of activities on offer from tennis to horse-riding, golf, football and hockey. Swimming is close too, the setting is idyllic but with an excellent infrastructure.

Düsseldorf is the capital city of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the seventh most populous city in Germany. Düsseldorf is an international business and financial centre, renowned for its fashion and trade fairs. The city is headquarters to five Fortune Global 500 and several DAX companies. Messe Düsseldorf organises nearly one fifth of premier trade shows.
Düsseldorf is known for its academy of fine arts (Joseph Beuys, Emanuel Leutze, August Macke, Gerhard Richter, Sigmar Polke and Andreas Gursky), its pioneering influence on electronic/experimental music (Kraftwerk) and its Japanese community. On the river Rhine, Düsseldorf holds Rhenish Carnival celebrations every year in February / March. Mercer's 2012 Quality of Living survey ranked Düsseldorf sixth city in the world.
