In case you don’t comply to the arrangements/agreements we made, this amount will count as a fee to stay with us. Usual rent for the room (as a roommate) is €1000/month, you don't pay rent if you're here to volunteer (you'll have to pay rent if you do paid work). You'll get a rental contract in this case.

The Experience

I'm a single mom to twins (born in 2022) who's looking for someone to live with us and share in thus share in daily tasks: grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, gardening,... We are outgoing, we love to travel and you might be able to join us if you'ld like. Ideally we are joined by someone who is very well organized, hyper clean, tidy, calm (but not slow), respectful of our privacy and knows how to cook a healthy meal.

I had a really good experience. Kids are lovely and well behaved. They have their routine and they love to eat and play outside. Annabell was flexible with days off and schedule. You also have your own room and shared bathroom. If you like kids and want to join a the home family I absolutely recommend this volunteering. Can't wait to see them again!
