    🌼 Spend the spring with us in beautiful Sweden!

    🌿 We are now looking for 2 people, (couple or two friends). Who want to join us from from beginning of April.

    🌟 The first tasks will be taking care of our big garden. Making sure it is ready for the summer. Take care of our chickens, organize for us and to do household tasks, like cleaning and cooking.

    You will have much free time to explore Järna, forests, lakes, ocean, Stockholm, etc.

    _________________________________________________________________
    Hi, We are four people living on this beautiful land.

    Hello, I'm Daniel. I live in one of the houses with my 12-year-old Isabell and 4-year-old Lumina. They are living with me 50% of the time. I work in the music industry and almost always have other projects planned, primarily focused on personal development, holistic health, and spiritualism/lightwork/shamanism. I work in my music studio, which is in another house here on the same land.

    Hey there! I´m Jacqui, and I live in a house just next to Daniel. My 4-year-old Lumina lives with me 50% of the time. I have my own company working as a doula and also often have many different projects going on.

    Both Daniel and Jacqui are usually busy but still very calm and easygoing.
    The kids are in kindergarten and school during the day.

    We have a big lush garden and a sauna for you to use. It is a short walk to the forest, and there are also stables with horses nearby.
    A part of our house is built around the year 1780. It is "typically old Swedish", red with white details. It is very well taken care of/renovated and has a large kitchen, living room, two bathrooms, some storage areas, and a few bedrooms.

    We absolutely love this place, and I hope you will have a good stay!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You will have a beautiful setting here close to nature, forests, and animals.

    You can walk to Järna in 25 minutes or take the bike in 10 minutes. There Is also a bus that stops right outside of our house, but it only passes a few times a day. Järna is a cute town with a few shops, a cozy café, Library. Järna is a cultural Mecca for anthroposophic and Waldorf-interested people. There are also plenty of biodynamic and organic farms around.

    From Järna, you easily commute to Södertälje (13 minutes) and Stockholm (52 minutes). There are endless cultural possibilities in the city.

    We have two positions to offer.

    These two positions are ideally suited for a couple or two friends. Some tasks are independent, and some tasks can be done together. It is perfect if you come together because then you can spend your free time together exploring the beautiful countryside and/or city vibes.

    1. Help with the household and family life, such as tidying up, cleaning, cooking for everyone, laundry, and organizing. Maybe do something with one of the kids from time to time.

    2. Maintenance. Having a few houses and a big garden, there are always things to do. This includes gardening, taking care of the land, chopping and moving wood, reparations, painting jobs, building things...
    I will try to adapt the work to what you are good at :)

    We want you to be independent and proactive.

    In exchange, you help me with various tasks 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. Our goal is that you will have an enjoyable stay!

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    A newly renovated room in a small house just next to the main house. No toilet or kitchen in there, but it is a nice room :)

    You will make most of your own food 7 days a week, but I buy most of the ingredients. You will have access to the main house to cook, use the bathroom, and hang out.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Food: We will buy ingredients, but one of the things I want help with is making food. I love to cook, but I rarely have time for it. We eat mostly vegan, gluten-free, with no refined sugar. Sometimes vegetarian. We aim to eat a lot of organic produce, and we buy more local produce in the summer/autumn.

    Sometimes I will prefer to eat alone while I work or when winding down, and you are always free to do so! I don't have much spare time and will not be able to join your adventures in cultural exploring, though I encourage you to leave the land sometimes and do your thing, explore, meet people, do fun, and/or do other fun things!

    We prefer you to be independent and proactive.
