  Description

  Hello! We are a family, Me, my husband and our two little kids. We are living in finnish country side, very near town Kouvola, about only one and half hours fron Helsinki by train.
  
  We have big old wooden house what we are renovating by traditional techniques and materials. We have big (wild) garden with lots of fruit and berry trees. We have Finnish landrace chickens also.
  
  We are looking for house help, babysitter, or helper to our garden and house projects.
  
  We are very open minded family. We have been travelling and also volunteering when we were younger.
  
  Me and my husband both are working at home. I am shoe maker and I have an own barefoot shoe brand called Hukkasiini. My husband has own music studio, Juuri Studio, and he is working as a sound engineer. Our kids are 3 and 5 years old.
  
  We can offer you Finnish lovely home, own room, own peace. We offer you an experience of Finnish style of living, enough freetime to see the country and interesting work with gardening, baby sitting and helping with our renovating project.
  
  Our house is unfinished, not very fancy yet. Our home is little boheme and living with us not so strict. We enjoy culture experiences, exploring nature, having fun freetime with our friends.
  
  We have also old old hut in forest (look the picture) if you are interested to try traditional old style living with no electricity and running water, that is also really nice place for nature adventures.
