    Help Needed with Packing, Moving & Cleaning (Bergen → Sandefjord, Summer 2025)- Help with moving, driving, housework and cleaning

    Hi!

    We are a Danish-Norwegian mother and daughter (17) living in Bergen. I recently ruptured my Achilles tendon and am currently in a wheelchair or on crutches. My daughter is doing her best, but she’s only 17 and cannot manage the move alone – so we are looking for kind, capable Workawayers to help with a few key stages of our move from Bergen to Sandefjord:

    🧳 JULY or AUGUST (Bergen)
    - We need a driver for small tasks with our van (volkswagen transporter) for the 15.-16. of July.
    – Help us pack down the rest of our apartment (20–30 m³)
    – Assist with shopping and light household tasks
    – Help find and collect moving boxes
    – Bonus if you’re an electrician – we need help finishing the last wiring for the camper (ventilation and fan)

    - Drive or co-drive the moving van with trailer from Bergen to Sandefjord and help us unpack.
    - Drive the van back to Bergen.
    – Ideally if you have a larger driver’s license (B96 or higher), but standard license ok if trailer is small

    – Help in Bergen with final cleaning of the now-empty apartment (furnished)
    – Cleaning needs to be very thorough so we can hand over the keys before August 31

    Right now we have a room in Bergen with one bed and eventually matress for 14.-16. July. The rest of July we can offer a couch in the living room for 1-2 people.
    In August you can have a room in our apartment with one bed until we move.
    After we moved you can borrow the apartment as a whole if you do the final cleaning before you leave.

    We’re open to splitting the tasks between different people – e.g. one person helps packing, another drives and unpacks in late July or in August, and someone else does cleaning mid-August. Just let us know what you can offer.

    🌍 Bonus opportunity!
    My daughter is going on exchange to Brazil in August and would love to practice Portuguese before she leaves. We are also interested in someone in Brazil who can tutor Portuguese online.

    Please write if you're interested – we’d love to hear from you!

    Warm wishes,
    Sidsel & Signe


    Olá!

    Somos mãe e filha (17), dinamarquesas-norueguesas, morando em Bergen. Eu rompi o tendão de Aquiles recentemente e estou de cadeira de rodas ou muletas. Minha filha está se esforçando muito, mas tem apenas 17 anos e não pode fazer tudo sozinha – por isso estamos procurando Workawayers gentis e responsáveis para nos ajudar com as seguintes fases da mudança de Bergen para Kristiansand:

    🧳 JULHO (em Bergen) Após 13 de julho
    – Ajudar a empacotar o apartamento (20–30 m³)
    – Fazer compras e tarefas leves em casa
    – Ajudar a encontrar e buscar caixas de mudança
    – Opcional: Buscar um colchão para nossa campervan
    – Bônus se for eletricista – precisamos finalizar a instalação do ventilador e sistema elétrico no campervan

    🚚 INÍCIO DE AGOSTO
    – Dirigir ou ajudar a dirigir o caminhão de mudança (campervan com reboque) de Bergen para Kristiansand
    – Ideal com carteira B96 ou superior, mas aceitamos ajuda com habilitação padrão se o reboque for pequeno
    – Ajudar a descarregar e se instalar no novo lar
    – Durante a viagem, é possível dormir na parte de trás do campervan ou na nova casa

    🧼 MEADOS DE AGOSTO
    – Ajuda em Bergen na limpeza final do apartamento (mobiliado)
    – A limpeza precisa ser completa e caprichada, pois entregaremos as chaves antes de 31 de agosto

    Você pode se hospedar conosco em Bergen em julho. Temos uma cama de hóspedes (e podemos oferecer um colchão extra se você vier em dupla). Oferecemos refeições, um ambiente tranquilo e amigável, e flexibilidade nos horários.

    Estamos abertos a dividir as tarefas entre diferentes pessoas – por exemplo, alguém pode ajudar em julho, outro faz a mudança em agosto, e outra pessoa cuida da limpeza. Fique à vontade para nos contar o que pode oferecer.

    🌍 Bônus!
    Minha filha vai para o Brasil em agosto e adoraria praticar português. Estamos especialmente interessados em Workawayers que falem português, ou alguém que possa dar aulas online.

    Se tiver interesse, entre em contato!
    Estamos ansiosas pelo seu contato.

    Com carinho,
    Sidsel & Signe
