I am 30 years old woman, with a 10 year old child. I am friendly and honest. I like to play board games, sew and cook. I think workaway is a great opporturnity to meet people from different parts of the world and from different backgrounds :)
Types of help and learning opportunities
Language practiceBabysitting and creative playCreating/ Cooking family mealsHelp around the houseCultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am easy to approach, good with deep talks. I am crafty, especially with sewing, and can teach or help in such things if you have interest.
I live in a great city, but if you'd like to see finnish countryside, you can take a trip the village where my parents live, near place called Lahti. Friend of mine lives there in super interesting self sustained circumstances, where they grow most of their food and live in a hut with no running water and only wood heating. It is right next to river and lake, quite in forest. It is a lovely place, and they are happy to receive guests.Projects involving children

Help
Current time schedule:
I will be away most of May (i sleep in the flat max 2 nights a week). During this May i would expect you to buy your own food (you can of course use everything in the kitchen, spices, oil etc).
In the first two weeks of June my kid is visiting.
I am looking help for two separate things. Anytime I need help in a lego project, and in specific time windows child care.
The lego project is practically sorting 100kg of mixed lego down to types and then collecting them to sets. I am about half way in the sorting, and I have a very good system. Because the system takes some time to learn (meaning one is very slow at first), I would like you to stay for minimum of two weeks at least. The sorting requires a sharp eye and attention to detal, but it also teaches that.
Sometimes I will need help with my ten year old child. Your main task will be playing with the child indoors and outdoors. All three of us can also visit local monuments, museums, The Castle Island, the sheep island etc together (meaning you are welcomed to also join us in our daytrips if you like, I can show you around). My child speaks finnish and german, and a little bit of english, but is ok with no common language.Languages
