WANTED:
A VEGAN PERSON or COUPLE (family is possible as well) who can stay for us from June until September to help us with:
- cooking
- driving our daughter to school (we have a car)
- watering and maintainance of the garden
- shores at home (some interior decoration and small crafts projects)
We want someone to stay the full 2-3 months! Our daughter has a summer break from mid July till September and we do need extra help.
GARDEN LOVER WITH HANDS-ON MENTALITY
We don't have a lot of experience with gardening, permaculture or growing vegetables, but we just turned our garden from a tile garden to a vegetable garden.
We would love to learn from someone who loves gardening, but someone who can just help out with daily maintainance is fine too.
EXTRA CREDITS IF YOU LIKE TO ENTERTAIN KIDS AND ARE ABLE TO DRIVE A CAR: Sometimes we work late or we have meetings in another city, which means we can’t pick up our daughter from school at 3pm. We are looking for a female nanny who would be willing to stay with us for at least 1 month and who can practice English with her after school.
Update: we prefer to host families with kid(s), because our daughter would love to have more kids around, especially in summer! But if you are a solo traveller/childless couple/duo with a playful mind, you are welcome to apply as well :)
--------------
We are Veerle and Pablo, and our 10-year old daughter Mila. We live in a house with 4 bedrooms, a big livingroom/kitchen, a bathroom and a veranda. And a garden :)
We use one of the bedrooms as a a small guest room for (international) volunteers who like to spend time at our place. If you don't mind staying in a room with a pink wall and quite some kids toys, you are welcome to stay with us as a volunteer. We also have an extra room with a double high bed, which comes in handy when we have more than one guest staying over. And we have a very nice couch on which guests have slept before.
We are quite new to Workaway, and we welcome people for short stay as well as long stays, however we work with a trial period of one week. If we get along very well, we are flexible and can extend your stay.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

During your exchange you will live in the middle of the Netherlands. Almere might not be as well known as Amsterdam, but it is actually one of the biggest city of the Netherlands. Many people from Amsterdam come to live here because it is very close to Amsterdam (30 minutes by train), but much greener. Our house is next to the train station and at a 5 minutes walk from a big nature reserve called Oostvaardersplassen (sometimes called 'Amsterdam Safari'). You can see hundreds of wild horses, deers, buffalo's and thousands of different kinds of birds.
Apart from the natural beauty, you will certainly enjoy to have a look behind the scenes of ProVeg, the vegan non-profit organization Pablo and Veerle both work for, you will take nice vegan food (or prepare it yourself), maybe join us in events and contribute to make a change for a better world for humans and animals.Proyectos con niños

Edible garden:
The house has a garden which is currently nothing but some pavement, a few plants and many weeds. As work-a-way volunteer you can help with weeding and the creation/maintenance of an organic edible garden. We are looking for a volunteer who has skills in gardening/permaculture, who can advice and implement these in the garden. There is no plan for the garden yet, so it will be up to you to design a plan, present it, get feedback and implement it. We will give priority this summer to people who can help with this project.Idiomas hablados

The place is a combination of an office (downstairs) and a family house (upstairs). Veerle and Pablo and our daughter Mila (2013) live there. At the top floor we have a spare room for one volunteer. It is pretty basic, but nice. We have a shared bathroom and 2 toilets (one upstairs and one downstairs).
Daughter Mila (2013) loves to talk to volunteers and learn new languages. Once she likes you, she will show it to you by asking your attention basically all the time. And she will teach you Dutch :)Algo más...
We live next to a train station (Almere Oostvaarders). We have direct connection by train to Amsterdam and Utrecht. The House is smoke-free and free of animal products. We trust you will respect that.
In Almere we have plenty of sights worth visiting, several nature reserves, a beach, a wild life rescue center, sport facilities and swimming pools. Of course you are welcome to borrow our bikes (in case we are not using them ourselves). Did you know we are actually located under sea level? True story!
IMPORTANT: We receive many applications from Work away-ers. Several a day actually! This makes it difficult to react instantly. Please note your application will receive a standard answer in case you send us an impersonal mail just asking us to stay. If we host you, we would at least like to know more about you, your motivation, personality and plans.
Applications will be read by Veerle, and if we are interested, we will invite you for a Zoom-call to get to know each other better. Also take into account that the house where you will stay will be completely vegan. It is not allowed to bring in non-vegan items. This is why we prefer to host vegans and vegetarians, even though our house is open to non-vegans who would like to experiment with a vegan lifestyle.Un poco más de información
