  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 (Jimi 14 and Milou 11) and at the other side of yhe house, my cousin and my uncle.
  
  Since januari 2023 last year I have had Work-Awayers living with us on and off. 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.
  
  My biggest need is some-one who can help me out with the basis, so that I can have more (head)space for the educational path of my 2 kids, my business and the estate. There are always a hundred things to do in one day....So if you feel open to support me and my kids in the following tasks, I am very happy to meet up with you in a video call and explore if we match...
  
  What would I like you to bring in?
  - First of all; yourself with all that you are, a pro-active attitude, open en honest communication :-)
  - Creative skils to inspire my (unschooling) 11 year old daughter, like DIY, drawing, filming, photography, baking stuff etc.
  - inspiration and experience on (healthy/whole food) cooking
  - doing groceries
  - Bring or pickup kids from friends/activities/train with my car
  - taking care of the animals like - walking the dog, feeding the cats, help clean rabbit house.
  - Help with the regular little household chores - fill and empty dishwasher, washing machine, empty trash, watering indoor plant
  
  What do I offer?
  - A warm house and good vibes, beautiful surroundings in the middle of the forest.
  - Your own cosy bedroom with sink
  - Time for reflection and nature walks
  - (Electric) bike for you to move around or you can borrow my car
  
  Main thing is that you need to feel a joy to join my family, run the household together, for you to be creative, pro-active AND have a passion for cooking ;-).
  
  Looking forward to meeting you

  Aide

  Cooking and preparing family meals; For me, thinking about what to cook, than do groceries and eventually cook, takes about 2/3 hours in total. I am not an efficient cook and live too much in the moment to think well ahead. During the time you stay with us, I'd love it if you can help me with that. Together we can make a weekplan or so and coordinate doing groceries and prepare food. So a passion for and experience in cooking needs to be natural for you. We love inspiration on healthy (low sugars and wholesome) foods and baking.
  
  Kids and animals: My kids are 11 and 14. My son likes 'to 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 also play and chill out 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.
  
  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.

  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).
