  Description

  Women only!
  
  [please kindly carefully read to the end - I have currently capacity to host up to two workawayers in your own flat]
  
  Hola workawayers,
  
  I’m Angela (32, originally from Peru) and have been living in Europe for over 14 years. For few years my now ex partner and I have been non stop traveling through Latin America and Europe until in 2022 we made a long break in Berlin due to pregnancy and post partum.
  Once we felt confident again, we took our daughter, dog, minimalistic bags and went on a 7 months trip within our parental leave.
  However, I felt the need to have a physical home for a while again, so I came back to Berlin with Enola (now 23 months) and moved to a quite nice apartment with great potential for interior re-structure decoration. For that I’m opening the doors of our home to receive female volunteers from any background who’d like to help me make this place a cozy and functional home.
  
  I’m trying to live everyday as conscious and active as possible, healing to become the mother my daughter needs and enjoying what this amazing diverse city has to offer .
  I’d love you to experience Berlin and our time together as authentically as possible!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Location: The apartment where we are currently living and where you’d help with your skills is located in Mitte right next to the famous Mauerpark, historical city sights or the trendy neighborhood Prenzlauer Berg.
  
  Languages: I speak German, Spanish, English and French fluently (intermediate on Italian), so we could communicate and practice on these languages while you’re here if you’d like to!
  
  Sports: I’m passionate about Beachvolley (currently training A3) and self defense. You’re welcome to join me on these activities during the week.
  
  For me, Berlin is the place to be for everyone! As I have two little explorers with me, I try to spend most of the day outdoors, so you’re welcome to join us to the many green areas around whenever it suits to your schedule here!

  Help

  If you want to collaborate with me, you must see and respect children/animals as you’d expect to be seen and respected by others and also have a consciousness for sustainability. I’m NOT needing any help with child or dog care but they’ll be around, so it’s important you’re open to enjoy their lively energy!
  Once we agree on the tasks to be done during your stay, I will give you the flexibility and trust to manage them independently, so it is important that you work with honesty and don’t need constant supervision.
  
  These are some of the projects I’d need help with:
  
  1. PRIORITY - carpentry work:
  - create a frame with sliding doors for the wardrobe at the entrance
  
  2. General maintenance: painting walls, fixing wholes, installing lamps
  
  3. Decoration skills: helping on choosing the right deco such as boxes or support chafing the color of furniture
  
  4. Cooking nutritious meals: If you’re vegetarian or vegan, even better! We don’t have a vegan household but are trying to eat as balanced and organic as possible.
  
  5. Household: e.g daily vacuuming, laundry, getting the trash out, getting groceries, etc
  
  PLEASE BE HONEST ABOUT WHAT PROJECTS/TASKS DO YOU ESTIMATE YOU COULD HELP US WITH AND MENTION THEM IN YOUR REQUEST.
