Description
Hello!
I am 28 years old and I'm coming from Germany (Brandenburg). After I finished my educator training (kindergarden teacher), I've worked a while as a kindergarden teacher. Before this, I was employed as babysitter for a family with 3 kids. After my kindergarden teacher job, I worked a few years in a organic grocery store.
I am a believer of christ, I grow up in a christian home and in Germany I'm going to a small church in my town.
In my freetime I do a lot of handmade. I am sewing my own clothes, I like it to sew, crochet, knit, embroider, working in the garden and I love reading. I love working in the household.
I have a driver's licence.
I would like to get to know different countries, getting to know everyday life. For me it is important to stay in englisch - or german-speaking families.
Since October 2022 I am travelling (with breaks) and I've already been to families and farms. I liked this and I would like to gain more experiences like this.

Ich bin 28 Jahre alt und komme aus Deutschland (Brandenburg). Nachdem ich meine Erzieherausbildung abgeschlossen hatte, arbeitete ich eine Zeitlang als Erzieherin. 5 Jahre lang war ich als Babysitterin bei einer Familie mit 3 Kindern tätig. Danach arbeitete ich ein paar Jahre als Verkäuferin in einem Bioladen.
Ich bin gläubige Christin, in einem christlichen Elternhaus aufgewachsen und gehe in eine freie Gemeinde.
Meine Freizeit verbringe ich mit verschiedensten Handarbeiten (z.B. Nähen und Häkeln), Gartenarbeit und Lesen. Es bereitet mir Freude, im Haushalt zu arbeiten. Ich bin im Besitz der Fahrerlaubnis für PKW.
Ich möchte verschiedenste Länder kennenlernen,
auch den Alltag bzw. das ganz normale Leben im jeweiligen Land. Dabei ist es mir wichtig, bei deutschsprachigen bzw. englischsprachigen Gastgebern zu sein.
Seit Oktober 2022 bin ich (mit Unterbrechung) auf Reisen und war schon bei einigen Familien und Bauernhöfen/Farmen zu Gast. Da mir dies gefallen hat, möchte ich es vertiefen und noch mehr Erfahrungen sammeln.

More details about your skills
Back in 2018, I spent 3 months with a family with 6 children in the countryside, running their household and living with them during this time. At home I had my own garden where I grew several types of vegetables.
I also have various experiences in childcare.
I have been traveling since fall 2022 and have stayed with several families, farms and ranches.
I love housework; cooking, baking, cleaning, laundry, ironing.
I sew my own clothes.

Schon 2018 war ich 3 Monate lang bei einer Familie mit 6 Kindern auf dem Land und habe ihnen in dieser Zeit den Haushalt geführt und mit ihnen zusammen gelebt. Zuhause habe ich einen eigenen Garten gehabt, in dem ich mehrere Gemüsesorten angebaut habe.
Auch habe ich unterschiedliche Erfahrungen in der Kinderbetreuung.
Mittlerweile bin ich seit Herbst 2022 auf Reisen und war schon bei einigen Familien, Bauernhöfen und Farmen.
Ich liebe Hausarbeiten; kochen, backen, putzen, Wäsche waschen, bügeln.
Meine Kleidung nähe ich selbst.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Susanne join our family, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Susanne is a beautiful person inside and out—her kindness, warmth, and genuine care shone through in everything she did.

She was incredibly reliable, hardworking, and always willing to lend a hand wherever needed. She helped… read more

I stayed with Minette and Florian for a good week. The hobby farm is situated on a creek overlooking a lake, it's beautiful. You can hear the birds chirping and you are surrounded by forest. Florian and Minette are both very lovely people and their children are always there, very interested in everything and attached. It was a lot of fun with… read more

I was with Selina and her family for almost a month in spring 2025. It was a wonderful time!
I learned what it's like and what it means to live on a hobby farm. They have lots of animals, a great garden with lots of trees and berry bushes. The farm is off the main road, it's wonderfully quiet there and you have a beautiful view of the mountains in… read more the distance.
For me, this workaway stay was the best because I am a big Wild West fan and got a lot of Wild West impressions! I would never have dreamed of that! There were even opportunities to ride horses! The horses live in a large pasture and have a good horse life. Although with two small children the day is filled, there was time for riding and other events.
I became part of the family and was made very welcome.
Selina and her husband are both very nice, made my stay with them very enjoyable and the kids are very sweet and active. They are always involved and want to help out, are interested in everything.
I learned to drive a quad bike and many other useful things. I really enjoyed being outside in the fresh air most of the day and on a farm there is always something to do which was perfekt for me!
I have even witnessed the birth of lambs! I was present at the birth of calves on the Ranch of Selinas parents. That was a special experience for me!
There are also always shared experiences, meals, ...., which are shared with the extended family who live just 5 minutes away. It's always a surprise what will happen in the next days and it never gets boring! All the family members are so friendly and welcoming, and some of them have other Workawayers with whom I was able to chat. I was happy that I got the experience what it means to be in a large family.
The family has a healthy diet, there was always fresh fruit and vegetables. Much of the food is home-grown and meat comes from the grandparents' ranch. It doesn't get any better than that! We cooked and baked together. We grew various herbs and vegetables in the greenhouse.
We even went swimming in the ice-cold river and it was great fun with all the family members, Workawayers and dogs.
Selina's workaway profile is definitely accurate and my experiences were even better than can be described.
I was able to see bears in the wild, lots of deer and Canada geese.
Thank you very much for the lovely stay that I had with you!

In the month of March we were for 2 weeks on the farm of Marek and Anna-Sophia. In the 2 weeks there was a lot of work, but it was always varied. We made a lot of wood, crocheted branches, prepared the beds, groomed the horses, got straw and there we sat on the trailer with straw...there is always something to do.
The food is very rustic, there is… read more

For one month I was with Philipp, Katja and their children. During this time they became like a second family to me. I felt very comfortable! We had good and long conversations, went on excursions, cooked and baked together. Katja is a very good cook and in their kitchen they process only the best food! Even though I am not vegan, I didn't miss… read more

She planned menus, did the grocery shopping, cooked for us, helped with the housework and played intensively with our children. Especially our daughter grew very fond of her and her training as an educator was clearly noticeable. We… read more

I stayed with Sam and Verena for 3 weeks. They were very kind hosts, they took me in as part of their family. We made excursions, they gave me different insights into the Swiss culture and way of life (alpine pasture, concert, Swiss cuisine). The work with them I could arrange myself, was varied and not difficult. The children were very… read more
