Beschreibung
A warm, relaxing and friendly house, inhabited by my daughters Kerstin and Harriet, aged 13 and 12, and myself (Pelle) welcomes and invites you to take part in our daily life and help out with a wide range of chores, e.g. wood chopping/cutting, decluttering, painting, snow shovelling, sewing, some child-minding, cooking, tidying up, language tuition, occasional house sitting, tending to our 16 chickens and three cats.
In the summer, we live on a farm on an island (perimeter: 13 kilometres, population about 150) in the wondrously beautiful countryside of the county of Jämtland, some 600 kilometres north of the Swedish capital Stockholm, which is the home for the most part of the year.
Our girls are relatively seasoned travellers and proficient speakers of English, and one of the main reasons I am listed here is that I want them to continue developing their understanding of the world far beyond the shores of our little island.
As regards other things to help with, I entertain some plans to convert one of the farm buildings into a bnb cottage, but feel a tad hesitant about embarking on a project like that by myself, so perhaps someone here could help(?)
In our area, visitors have plenty of opportunity to pursue their outdoor interests (MTB, hill walking, vertical and horizontal skiing, etc) and it is entirely impossible to avoid nature and its wildlife round our home ;))
I am a teacher of Swedish as a second language and I'd be most happy to assist anyone keen to learn the language both conversationally and grammatically

Arbeit
Help with cooking, vacuuming and cleaning, esp. in winter, would also be greatly appreciated.
With us, such qualities as willingness to contribute to what needs to be done here and an interest in the things we have to offer carry more weight than, for example, your language background. Generelly speaking, however, native speakers of French or English (mainly for the benefit of Kerstin and Harriet) or of German are particularly welcome as Pelle would be delighted at an opportunity to brush up on his dormant knowledge of conversational school German

Steven och Charlotte fick massor gjort hos oss och allt med mycket hög kvalitet. De lagade mat, bakade, krattade löv, grävde ett dike, matade höns och katter och, i Stevens fall, installerade el i det hus som jag håller på att fixa i ordning.… read more
Pelle had lots of faith in us, for example when we looked after the house for 1.5 weeks. We were able to organize our daily routine freely, so there was always time for a cozy breakfast with the other workawayers.… read more

As Pelle needs to go to Stockholm for his job for a week at least once every month, chances are fairly big you will be alone for some time, in charge of the 15 or so chickens (and in the mean time feeding the… read more
It was the first time for me as a workaway, I think I was very lucky to have found a beautiful family like Pelle's. Pelle is a nice person and father, a great English teacher.
I have been very well received and have always felt part of the family.
I would like to go back to see them.
Thanks for this wonderful… read more
Having you as a fifth member of our family was a truly enjoyable experience. Next time, we look forward to welcoming both you and Daniele, summer or winter, our doors and arms are open;). We thank you for your warmth and kindness, wonderful cooking, general flexibility and exemplary communication.

They are extremely open to the knowledge of the other, capable of putting guests at ease (in reality I never felt like a guest, but part of the family).
It is very pleasant to talk about everything with them.
They are two attentive… read more
In a beautiful restorated Stuga with a view on lake and mountains we did two weeks of housekeeping, after meeting the family for one evening and immediately falling in love with their kindness and warmheartedness.
Obviously we were very happy about a week of proper "working-and-travelling" after they arrived… read more
What an absolutely awesome family! I could not recommend them more! If you get the opportunity to go and experience life with them on their little Island: do it!
There were light tasks to be done around the… read more
We are still finding French cuisine dishes in our freezer, delicious food that brings all four of us back to the lovely time when we had you, Florence, staying here. We got on really well and our family benefitted a great deal from your genuinely positive outlook on life, life experience, interest in other people and… read more
Christine, Pelle and their two little fairies are a wonderful family, warmhearted, straight, humorous, tolerant, open, generous… They are not the kind of hosts who take volunteers to have hard-working, cheap helpers. They open their door to share and exchange - work, culture, opinions, fun and… read more
It's already been a while since I visited you but still I often think about it, about the great experience. I found friends which I will definitely see again!
You are such an open and welcoming family, it's still astonishing to me how quickly I felt like a part of the family. I was included from the… read more
