  Description

  Welcoming extra family member 😃
  ---
  
  We live at our family-estate in centre of Holland and in the middle of the forest. The estate consists of 200 hectares of forest, and a beautiful monumental garden with lanes of trees. I live with my two kids (Milou 10 and Jimi 13), my cousin and my uncle.
  
  And since januari this year I have had Work-Awayers living with us. I really enjoy the vibe to share my home and in living together inspiring and supporting each other, and at the same time having fun and good conversations during morning coffee's or evening tea's. It is such a joy.
  
  What would I like you to bring in?
  - Creative skils to interact and inspire my (unschooling) 10 year old daughter, she loves to do creative things, like DIY, drawing, photography, baking stuff etc.
  - inspiration and experience on healthy cooking
  - doing groceries
  - taking care of the animals like - walking the dog, feeding the cats, help clean rabbit house, bring water to the sheep etc
  - The regular help within the household - dishwasher, washing machine, empty trash, keeping the house organised (keeping things tidy and organised is not my biggest talent ;-))
  - watering/caring for the vegetable garden
  - yourself with all that you are, a pro-active attitude, open en honest communication
  
  What do I offer?
  - A warm house and good vibes, beautiful surroundings in the middle of the forest.
  - Time for reflection and nature walks
  - (Electric) bike for you to move around or you can borrow my car
  
  Main thing will be to join my family, run the household together, be creative, pro-active and have a passion for (and experience in) cooking ;-).
  
  Looking forward to meeting you

  Cooking and preparing family meals: During the time you stay with us, I'd like you to prepare food, so a passion for and experience in cooking is a must! We love inspiration on healthy foods and baking sugarfree/glutenfree etc stuff that is still tasty ;-). My daughter has a dysbiosis in her digestive system, so we like to experiment with sugarfree and mainly lactosefree and glutenfree stuff. And a variation in veggies, specially cooking fresh and with wholefoods.
  
  Kids and animals: My kids are 10 and 13. My son likes 'do his thing' and be with his friends hanging out/chilling. Also gaming/being on his phone is a favorite pass-time of him. And if he is in the mood, he can also be creative with digital art on his Ipad. My daughter likes to interact with you and do crafts/ diy things, photography and film, bake cakes or gymnastics, or play outside with her friends or the animals.
  When I am gone for a day or a night, because I have a course, (freelance) work, or just going out with friends, you are the one to be with my kids and animals Our dog, 2 cats and 2 rabbits are also happy to get some extra care when I am away or working
  
  Driving licence is a must! We live a bit isolated and in autumn and winter the days are short and the forest is dark. To be able to drive yourself or my kids from and to activities/friends by car is a pleasant way to move.
  
  Gardening: I started to experiment with a vegetable garden, if you enjoy working with vegetable gardens, you are welcome to help me out, I am just learning by doing, and have no experience. And in general our monumental garden can always use some maintenance....
  
  General maintaince: if you are a handy(wo)man, that is very welcome, but not a must. Always there are little things to restore and adjust.

  Autres infos...

  In your off-time you can go anywhere you want, Netherland is small and we live very central. I have a bike for you to use so you can go around and make little trips to local natural surroundings. The train station is also in walking distance and very easy to reach Utrecht (15 min) or Amsterdam (45 min).
