  Description

  #Short stay: 10.-16.06. stay in Vienna and help us out for the week! 😍🤩
  …
  
  Hello! I am looking for a long-term Workawayer starting in August, in best case until December
  (while you could study, have a gap year, explore cultural life in Vienna, work online etc)
  
  # long-term: for the kids it would be best to have you stay for 2 - 6 months
  
  We are a family with 3 kids (4, 8 and 13 years old) are looking for you: a very reliable person with good experiences with kids, who likes to cook and helps keeping it clean & tidy.
  
  You will have plenty of time for yourself and we have experiences with organizing everything - a weekly schedule, tasks and some flexibility (kids might get sick).
  
  We live in a 5 bedroom- apartment in Vienna 22. district close to U1 and Alte Donau/ Donauinsel in a community house project.
  
  Aleksandra, mom, 43 years: I work with EU funds for youth projects. I studied communication and gender studies, travelled a lot, was teaching at university, and like film projects. In our free time I like to go out into nature, do sports, go dancing or concerts. Most of the time it's work & kids though :)
  
  We speak German, also Slovenian and we can speak English. Little Muriel stays 50% with his dad, the middle sister Lela & teeny Nika are every 14days away for the weekend. Patchwork family!
  
  @ Muriel is our 4years old boy in kindergarten, he loves books, biking, music and dinos and is very sweet.
  @ Nika, 13 years, is a footballer, has matches every weekend, in Gymnasium (7th grade), who likes gaming , video eds, swimming, his friends and football.
  @ Lela, 8 years, goes to 2. Klasse Volksschule, our journalist kid (knows a lot and has many questions), best friends with our neighbour Katja. She likes swimming, being creative , music, biking. Lela is a vegetarian (cause she doesn't want to eat animals).
  
  Muriel and Lela can play nicely, but do get into fights. The kids are used to international people and are open-minded. But do note: there are 3 of them at very different ages. Thats where you‘d come in!
  
  We live in a house project with women and international & Austrian families. We get on well with the people and kids in the house. We have nice shared common spaces: a sunshiny big rooftop terrace with a great view, a garden with trees, a little playground and meadow, a Gemeinschaftsraum (common room with kitchen) and a sauna for all in the house to use.
  
  You will have your own room with a bed, a desk, a wardrobe, WiFi and a shared balcony towards the South. The house is just a 5min walk to the U1 Kagraner Platz (20 min to Stephansplatz, 10min to Praterstern). You can bike and swim in the Alte Donau (10min). There is a shop on the other side of the road and a soccer playground next to our house.
  
  Our household is smoke-free. One may smoke outside (on the balcony). I think a transparent communication and a good organization are important so that family life, work and volunteer time can work well together :)
  
  To sum up: we do need help with household chores such as cooking, dish washer, laundry, grocery shopping. And to spend afterwork time with us: pick up the kids, play & be creative with them, go swimming or to matches with us, study with Nika...

  We find it so cool to live so close to the metro: U1 Kagraner Platz, guaranteeing a fast connection to Vienna city center, Hauptbahnhof, Maria Hilferstraße, MQ, Donauinsel...
  There is a big cultural (music /museum/ arts) scene in Vienna to discover.
  We live close to such nice places like Alte Donau, Donaupark, Danube, the Donauzentrum (mall). We are happy to go to nice places together - we like to do rope climbing and bouldering, swimming, biking, go to playgrounds like motoric park or go on little hiking tours. I have a car, too.
  There is a direct bus to the airport from Karan and the U1 is going from Hauptbahnhof Vienna to Kagraner Platz.
