Description
Hello...I'm Christine, retired (68) and living in the center of a small town (Axel). It's in the south of the Netherlands (Zeeuwsvlaanderen), close to the belgian border (Antwerp, Gent, Brugge) .

I ended up on this site, because I was looking for help with my 3 (large) dogs, but now two of them passed away, so I only have one small dog left + 2 chickens. I had many workawayers around, and always a good time. Now I'm looking for somebody who can do some building, painting and gardening, someone to assist me in house maintenance. Are you social, independent and you like a good conversation with a glass of wine, don't hesitate to contact me.

Gigi spent 7 months with me. She is a really hard worker and was a great help to me! Nothing is too much! We could get on very well together and had a good time. She kept everything nice and tidy. Communication was a little difficult sometimes because of the language, but this is going better and better....
I'm very happy i've met her, and I hope… read more

For example, we renovated the bathroom, repainted the tiles and windows.
I tidied up the various storage rooms in the house, the yard, and the outdoor buildings.
I dug a garden, planted and pruned plants.
I… read more

Franziska is a very nice and quiet person. It was a last minute, but we had a good time and nice talk together.
Her stay was short, but one to remember!
Franziska...maybe we ever meet again! You know you're welcome!

Although the stay by Christine was very short, I had a fantastic time with her! You can talk with her about God and the world, she is a excellent cook and her house with the garden is amazing. I really enjoyed the walks with her dogs or beeing and playing with them in the garden. Christine is always ready to give you tips for your excursions or… read more

It is our pleasure to have met her and her dogs. She always taught me various things gently. And it was very nice to take a walk with the dogs in the beautiful trees. On the last day we had a party of sushi with her family. We will never forget that wonderful time.Dank u wel Christine.

Luke & Ryan are 2 very kind and social boys. They did all what I asked them to do in no time. I enjoyed to walk the dogs together. It was nice meeting them and I really can recommend them!

Christine was the perfect workaway host. She cooks amazing food and provides comfortable living quarters. Her and her three dogs made our stay one to remember and she doesn't ask for much in return. Highly recommend her

Thank you Christine for everything! The stay was absolutely lovely. We were supposed to be there for a week but ended up staying three weeks! She is such a lovely young spirit and a great cook. And her dogs are so much fun as well :) We couldn't have asked for a better host. The city (village) is beautiful, everything within reach.
