More details about your skills
I have been volunteering for a few years now. I volunteered for eleven months in a French school, where i gained experience in teaching. After that I worked as au pair in Spain for several weeks. I also helped out on a yacht where I did all kinds of different things: from cleaning to being a waitress. And then i volunteered with all hands and hearts in the US. That is an organization that rebuilds houses and schools after natural disasters. I have also done quite a few workaways by now: I helped out with a husky kennel and did some babysitting in Sweden, helped repair a boat in the Netherlands. I also did some gardening in Portugal and learned how to milk goats in Slovakia. I am really looking forward to new experiences.

I really enjoyed my stay with Yasmin, Gundeep and Leo. They are a lovely family and we had a beautiful time together. Leo is a very sweet kid and it was always enjoyable to spend time with him. I felt welcome immediately and it was really nice to try out the different kinds of food they have. I am very happy I was able to spend some time with this… read more

Melissa stayed with our family for short time since we had vacation planned, but very quickly she became part of the family and was able to help us in several ways. Our son had wonderful time playing with her and learning new things. She also helped us with house chores as there were always little things to do since we had just moved to a new… read more

Melissa stayed with us for about 6 weeks and was a great help. Among other things, she help to put up outside paneling on a whole house, painted a lot, helped in the garden and was great with the kids. If you have the choice to have her as a volunteer, I'm sure she will be a much appreciated help, no matter the task.

My time with Kristoffer, Caroline, Lea and Lex was simply awesome. I really enjoyed living and working with them. We did a lot of different things like painting, putting up panels and making a clay floor. I definitely never got bored and it was always fun to work with them. And most importantly, they always had enough time to talk passionately… read more

Melissa stayed a while with us during the spring and a little longer because of the problems to travel during the corona virus. She was a good help with putting up nets in the dogyard and stones around the greenhouse, moved a lot of plank when we build the veranda among many other house and garden tasks. Strong and persistent, always in a good… read more

Hello everyone,
I had a really good time during my stay with Maj. I really enjoyed walking the dogs and helping around the garden and the house. Maj helped me over and over again and let me stay longer when I couldn't leave because of the corona virus. I am so very grateful to her for letting me stay and helping me so much. And during all that… read more
