Details
Description
We are a small family of three, currently living in a municipality just right outside of Oslo. Mom is a librarian while dad is working at a hospital. We have a 13 years old son and two small cats.
We moved from Oslo to a 3 floor house since last summer. We have a small garden which needs some care. If interested, we also have another garden in Oslo which could need some freshening up. Maybe house painting as well.
We are a multicultural family, open minded and including. Some days we like calm evenings with a book or a movie. Some days music and monkey dancing in the living room.

Help
We would like to host someone who has some knowledge in sewing. I (the mother) wants to learn how to use my new Pfaff sewing machine, and would like some help/teaching how to repair clothing. If not sewing, we would like some help with ironing and taking pictures of our collection of vintage clothing.
From June/July 2023, we could need some help with gardening, house painting, diy projects (painting/restoring old furnitures) and/or general maintenance of one or two houses. You can choose whatever tasks which suits you.
