  Description

  I have been a workawayer in many different countries. This is the first time actually hosting myself. Since beginning of the year, I have a little baby girl. As a single mum, even the smallest tasks can be challenging. I'd be happy about some help with household/ everyday tasks. There is not much to do actually, some help with cooking and maybe one more task per day, which means you'd have a lot of free time you can use for yourself, to be outside, for language exchange with me, playing instruments,... I like meeting and spending time with people, but you should also be able to entertain yourself. As my baby is still pretty young, I have to take care of her most of the time, so I won't always be available for you ;)

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  As I've traveled many European countries and been a workawayer in different places, we will definitely have a lot to talk about. I can give information around traveling/ workaway to those just beginning their journey, and/or offer language exchange (I speak German, English, and Norwegian). I am happy about calm people who can both manage their own time and be social. I am actually pretty open and flexible, so just let me know if you have any questions ;)

  Help

  mainly everyday tasks and some projects around the flat. for cooking please know that I do eat meat sometimes (free range only) but that most of my meals are rather vegetarian. thanks for understanding that I can't take consideration of very strict diets. if there are certain foods you can't live without, you can of course bring them and get your own space in the fridge.
  apart from cooking there are rather smaller tasks, like cleaning, laundry, organizing, handy-projects which require no special knowledge. Babysitting is none of the tasks I need help with right now - guess that comes when she's older :)

  Accommodation

  As I have an apartment and can only offer the living room and the couch for your stay, I prefer stays of a few days only.
  
  My apartment has three rooms. I don't have a guest room, but the couch can be extended so you can sleep on it. Please have in mind that my baby is only a few months young. As my sleeping room is next to the living room, you should be aware that you might hear it when we wake up at night, usually 1-3 times during the night, usually it's just changing if she needed to do her business and giving her food, but of course it can happen that she also cries a bit at night. Please be aware, that small babies cry occasionally (and unfortunately she has a loud voice). Usually it's just when she's tired but just as us, she can have a bad day as well and crying is one of her ways to communicate when something is off. If you can't stand the noise, please look for a different host instead ;)
  
  We sleep when it's dark which means we go to bed early and wake up pretty early as well (not saying that I necessarily like that xD). You don't have to adapt to that rhythm, as long as you're quiet when we're in bed and understand that we're up early, there should be no problem.

  What else ...

  No smoking, no drinking, no drugs. Please always be honest. If you lie to me and I figure out when you're here, I might terminate your stay immediately and inform the Workaway support about it.
  
  If you arrive by public transportation, I can pick you up from the nearest train station. If you come by car, there is parking nearby (2min by foot), but for (un)loading, you can park the car at the property temporarily. Please check in advance if Greiz is on your route. As it's a bit remote, the connections with public transportation aren't always the best.
  Please know that I breast feed and might walk around with little clothes sometimes. The baby is often naked when inside (no baby-pictures please). If you find that bothersome, please decide for a different host.
