There's also sites for people who want to host foreign visitors. https://justlikehome.com/become-a-host/ From that site: Your homestay participant pays Just Like Home for each four-week stay at the beginning of each cycle. The host family is paid for the four week stay at the end of the first week of the stay. If either party is not satisfied with the match, the host family must refund the unused portion of the homestay fee. With Workaway you can find 14136 local hosts and families for volunteering around the world. That site is for people who are willing to work for 16 to 20 hours per week. That is way beyond 'a few chores': Hosts generally are asked to provide accommodation and food in exchange for help from Workawayers of around 4-5 hours per day 5 days a week.
