  Description

  Hi! And welcome!
  
  Our family of four live at pictouresque countryside 10 km northwest of Örebro. The nature here is wonderful, it's close to mountains Kilsbergen where's lots of trails for mtb and hiking, lakes to swim and fish. We have forest right outside the house.
  
  Our two kids, turning 5 and 8 years old, are active, love to play and to be creative. They do not speak English yet, except for some basic phrases, but are very curious and communicative. We would like you to help to babysit the kids a couple of times a week, maybe pick up them from school sometimes, speak English with them.
  
  It's good if you have your own car or at least a driver's license since bus connections are poor at a countryside.
  
  I need to mention that we also have a half-siberian cat, who is allergy-friendly. Our cat is curious and likes to stay close when we play or gardening.
  
  Our family eats a lot (but not exclusive) plant based meals. It would be awesome if you are interested in making vegan or vegetarian food.
  
  It's our first time hosting so we would like to start small, 2-3 weeks or so and prolong the stay if everything works out.
  
  Important! Only female non-smokers may apply.

  We live close by traditional Swedish village that arrange activities such is Local Farmers day, Flea Market, celebration of Midsummer etc. The city nearby (Örebro) has a rich cultural life.
  
  It might be a few DIY-projects around the house in the summer so a little bit of carpentry and gardening is coming up.
  
  My husband works with film and media so if you show interest in that he's happy to teach you about producing movies and create content.

  Help

  We need help mainly taking care of the kids and playing with them while we working with projects at home or away. Kids are at daycare and school between 9-16 at weekdays.
  We have a large gym at home where we work out and play together several days a week.
  If you can help around the house such is cleaning, moving furniture or maybe even some maintenance it would be great.
