We are looking for a volunteer who would enjoy becoming part of our family life for a few weeks. The experience is based on cultural exchange, kindness and mutual respect. We hope to share daily life, local adventures, good conversations and family activities while receiving some practical help with children and household tasks.
Help may include light childcare, cooking, gardening, household tasks, accompanying us on outings, and helping with everyday family life. The schedule is flexible and will depend on the needs of the family and the volunteer's plans.
We ask volunteers to be respectful, reliable, kind to children and comfortable living as part of a family. Good communication is important. Smoking is not permitted inside the apartment.
Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
