Description
We’re looking for someone to lend a hand for a week or two at the beginning of November to help get the boat and property ready for winter. Tasks may include outdoor help such as raking leaves or stacking wood, as well as indoor help like window cleaning, light painting, or even looking after the cats for a day or two. Additional small projects may come up as we get closer to November, but we’ll let you know about those in advance.
I am an International Citizen who has lived and worked in many parts of the world and I enjoy hosting guests and friends from all over. I moved to Berlin in 2016 and have been living on the large houseboat ever since. My partner Micha joined me on the boat a few years ago. We work a lot and enjoy doing this together with others in a team.
We have a number of jobs on the boat which require ongoing attention, different paint and repair jobs, wood cutting, chopping and stapling as well as a number of household related tasks.
We have two cats
thank you and greetings
Hilde

Robin is very sweet, interested and immensely helpful workaway guest. He stayed 11 days with us and completed all assigned tasks with great dedication and skill. He is very neat and orderly. As an example we asked him to clean the (many) windows on the boat - and I have never seen them sparkle like this... He was also very open and interested,… read more

Nicole offered her experience as a house sitter during our initial email exchange, and I took up her offer for our summer vacation of three weeks.

Nicole came twice before the vacation before the… read more

Arushi was friendly, very helpful and a joy to have around. She worked hard painting the boat and did not rest until it was finished. She also took care of the cats and was generally considerate, easy-going, and a great person to talk to. I can definitely recommend her as a work-away guest :-)
