Program Details
Mainly in the household. I prefer someone be proactive and someone with experience in running a household (for example an au pair, lived alone, has a family,...)
You'll be cleaning (daily), cooking (healthy, quick meals you think of yourself based on what's around),... things you do for your own household as well.
You might have a chance to spend time with the kids and occasionally might be joining us for day trips (we have a house at the coast as well and sometimes travel there)
You'll be living in a private family home and would thus be part of that family, and adapt to our schedules and standards.
Rules
You cannot invite other guests over to our house.
No smoking or drinking alcohol.
You'll be asked a deposit in case you cause any damages to the property or as rent if you have paid work and not volunteering.
You are able to take care of your own travel requirements.
Accommodation options might be limited (might be sharing a room or have a bed downstairs in our spacious hallway)
