    Description

    My name is Nadja (45) and together with my daughter Fleur (8), we have been traveling around South-East Asia for 8 months and overlanded Africa in a Landrover for the past year. We have recently returned back home to the Netherlands and are now looking to welcome a new workawayer to come and stay with us. We love the concept and have had many great experiences in the past. Ideally we'd like someone to stay with us for a longer period of time.

    My husband passed away shortly after Fleur was born, while life hasn't been easy I have been determined to honor my husband’s life by making the best of ours and lead it by example for our daughter.

    I am half Dutch/half German but have lived abroad for more than 20 years, 12 of those in London. Since our travels, Fleur is also fluent in English and having 'work-awayers' with us now really helps to keep up this skill. I also speak some basic French and Spanish and are keen to embrace this cultural exchange.

    Fleur goes to school till 2pm so your help would mainly be required in the afternoon or evenings. Fleur is a keen swimmer and gymnast so depending on my schedule you might accompany here to the trainings or play with her in the afternoon or do some arts and crafts with her. She's good fun and will declare you her best friend within 5 minutes of meeting you.

    I have taken up my studies again and just launched my business which is quite time consuming. I also might have to travel so would appreciate your help to pick Fleur up from school, etc. If you have the knowledge you can help me build a new website, help with my logo design, etc

    We live in Overdinkel, a small town close to the German border, you can cycle to Germany within a few minutes. It's a quiet area yet well connected to get to Enschede or Losser. We live in a semi-detached house and you would have your own bedroom (single bed) on the first floor and would share the bathroom with us.

    I would say we are pretty easy going and like the cultural exchange as much as you do.

    Please get in touch if you are interested.

    I could really need your help with looking after my daughter Fleur. Fleur is into all sorts of arts and crafts, likes to dance and being outdoors. Together you can take her bike to the playground at the end of our street, or visit the horses on the fields behind us. Fleur is my absolute everything and she is a bright little girl, really easy going, very friendly and social. She will surely declare you as her new best friend within 5 minutes of meeting you.

    We are looking for someone who is responsible and has a positive attitude towards life, with a zest for life, and has a can-do attitude!


    In addition I am looking for someone who can help build my website and logo design incl photography.

    If you have a driving licence and some experience driving you could use my car to drive Fleur to and from her activities. We also have a bike you can use, though it helps if you're tall as it's a big one ;-)
