Description
Hello dear workawayers!
We are a small family living in Laax, a nice village and a well-known ski resort in the Swiss Alps.
We're looking for warm-hearted persons giving us hands to help for everyday tasks and bring in their skills and interests to embellish our live.
We, this is me, Linda (42), and my beloved kids Mattiu (8) and Annie (6). I'm a geographer and i've an interesting job in a company, where i work mainly in homeoffice. I love mountains and my passion is snowboarding. Mattiu likes being creative in handicraft and Lego and Annie is a sporty bundle of energy. We're all outdoor enthusiasts and love being active in our beautiful surrounding nature. We try to reuse and repair things to give them a longer life and we prefer organic food.
We live in a two families house with a small vegetable garden. A beautiful natural landscape surrounds our home.
Laax offers many possibilities for activities (skiing, biking, hiking, swimming in beautiful lakes, ...) and there are stunning places to visit just nearby. You'll get plenty of ideas by visiting the Laax homepage.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I enjoyed a lot travelling around the world in younger years. I always loved to have an insight in peoples everyday lives and that's what you can do now in our home. I still like cultural exchanges and i feel like hosting workaway people is a great opportunity for it.
Our family loves being outdoors and in the mountain nature. As we live in a ski resort with lots of possibilities we take advantage of it and go skiing, biking, hiking, ... you're welcome to join us on our adventures if you want to. i can't cover your lift ticket though.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We need help with our daily household tasks like cleaning, cooking, dishes (no dishwasher ), laundry, .. That's already quite work with the daily tasks. Besides, there's enough tasks waiting to be done.
You're welcome to bring in on your skills and interests to help us embellish and improve our live. This can involve some deep cleaning and or ordering projects, small renovations in and around the house, gardening, supervising/creative play with the kids, reparation tasks, snow shoveling, ...
Childcare will at the most be a side task for you as i am around when the kids are and i love to spend time with them. Note that some days the kids are with the grandmother or their father and that's the days i'm also possibly working outside home, Thus you need to be ok being on your own.

We speak rhaeto-romansh, a latin language spoken in the eastern part of Switzerland. The kids also speak german fluently as their father is from Germany. I like languages and speak several languages which i'd like to practice. if you're interested in learning german i'm also happy to speak german with you.
Accommodation
You'll be sleeping in the new wooden house (40m2) just few steps aside our apartment. There's your own bathroom with shower and you have direct access to the terrasse. The view to the mountains directly from your room is gorgeous. The wooden house is also used as my office sometimes during the day but i'll respect your privacy and will take my laptop somewhere else to work if it's not appropriate for you.
The photos from inside show your room. I haven't put photos of our family living space, which is definitely more chaotic and not as spacious.
