Description
Hi.
My name is Linda and I live with my 3 kids, Valje ,6 Vendla 9 and Vide 11 years old in a small village called Kloster 20 km from Hedemora in the south of Dalarna. It is situated about 150 km northwest of Stockholm.
We also have two cats, Izzy and Stjärna.
From our house you can see the farmers cows in the valley. The neighbour has horses and chickens.
a short walk takes you to a small pond with a waterfall where you can go for a swim almost all year around.
Me and The kids like to play board games, being creative with all sorts of materials, reading.
I work as a teacher and with my own company where I work with textile craft such as sewing, weaving and felting .
I like to do yoga or take walks in the forest. And swim all year around.
The people in the neigbourhood are friendly and we like to help eachother out and spend time together.
10 km from us is a centre for permaculture if you are interested in that (in the village of Stjärnsund).
You are welcome to stay with our family for a period of time
there are sometimes other worksawayers nearby that I can get you in contact with for socializing.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Dalarna is a region with a lot of culture. We live near Stjärnsund that is a center of permaculture, The nature is fantastic and in the summer it is uniqe when the sun sets late at night.
In the nearby area there are a few more workawayers that you can meet.
The town Hedemora is located 2 h trainride from Stockholm and it is the oldest Town in Dalarna.
The bus connections to Hedemora is not the best so drivers license is good to have.
There is a nearby small pond that is suitable for swimming and many nice roads to walk in the forest. The nature is beautiful and there is a lot of nice roads for running and forets to wander in.
As I am a creative person there is a possibilite for you to do some sewing, felting or knitting and learning more if you want to

Help
Our family needs help with day to day things like cooking, cleaning, gardening and easy building projects.
This summer I will mostly be needing help with getting the firewood into the shed for the winter and bulding gardening boxes for my plants. I also need help with cleaning and some cooking.
I will need help from late may and a month ahead so if you can stay for 2-4 weeks during that period it is interesting.
When it comes to cooking , we eat mosstly everythin. For us it is okay that you have your own dietary needs, but it is important that you feel fine with cooking all kinds of food.
We wake up around 6.00- 6.30 in the morning and the kids fall to sleep around 20.00 in the evening.
We loves to play board games so if you like that I am sure that the kids would like to play with you.
I like to grow vegetables but mainly for fun.
We want you to help out 25 h / week , divided to 4-5 days a week.
I have the kids part time and that means that they aren't here all weeks.
