Helping a family with household, childcare and pet sitting
The experience
I live in Remetschwil, in the canton of Aargau, with my three children. We are looking for a helping hand around the house, including pet sitting (we have two cats). Occasionally, you may also look after the children and you will mainly take care of our house and cats while we are away on holiday. What you get in return: a peaceful place surrounded by nature, yet close to towns like Baden, Bremgarten, and Zurich.

Program Details
I live in Remetschwil, in the canton of Aargau, with my three children, who are 9, 7, and 5 years old.
We are looking for a helping hand around the house, including pet sitting (we have two cats). Occasionally, you may also look after the children and you will mainly take care of our house and cats while we are away on holiday.
What you get in return: a peaceful place surrounded by nature, yet close to towns like Baden, Bremgarten, and Zurich. You'll love the beautiful walks you can take here!
About me: I speak several languages and am very curious about people from different countries. I really enjoy cultural exchange, and my children are very open-minded as well. I play the piano, so if you play too, you're welcome to use it. I am also a professional singer-songwriter and work for a hospital clowning organisation.
You'll have your own space in our finished basement, which is very comfortable, especially during the summer. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!
