Host and Care is open to everyone who has some extra space in the house and also requires some help with the household chores or any other form of work. The most common hosts are families who are looking for free child care or free senior care but who do not have extra money to spare for such needs.

The savings that parents who offer themselves up as hosts get are significant compared to the costs they would otherwise spend on professional care, sending kids to summer camps, or paying for nursing homes for seniors.

But families and working parents are not the only ones qualified to benefit from being a host at Host and Care.

Or they may also find other families who are also travelling with whom they can swap houses with. Various types of homestay and service exchanges are possible with Host and Care.

Thankfully, there is a mutually advantageous solution for both problems that does not require the exchange of money. And that's exactly what Host and Care offers.
