    Description

    Hi!

    We are a family of four, Navid, Runa, Midas (4 yo) and Devin (6 months) with our two animals, Millie the dog and Lucy the cat. We live 35 minutes north of Uppsala and 1,5 hours north from Stockholm in an old house with some land. Navid is working as a meditation teacher and currently also as an UX designer. Runa is educated in yoga and Ayurveda and is studying homeopathy. We have a business running at the farm where we offer retreats in yoga, meditation, dance and more.

    We bought this beautiful place around five years ago and we are slowly renovating the house and taking care of the land we have.

    This spring we are looking for a reliable workawayer who can stay at least 2 months in a row and help us with;

    Housework (cleaning, cooking etc)
    
Maintenance on our land and in our house (painting, gardening, cutting the grass etc)

    
Child caring and playing

    Looking forward to your responses!
    Navid & Runa
