Beschreibung
We are a couple with four small dogs. We live in a village called Revonlahti which is about 60 km from the city of Oulu and 20 km from the town called Raahe. The house is located right by the river Siikajoki. The distance to the nearest bus stop is 1,5 km and the connections to Oulu and to Raahe are quite ok.

We mostly need some help with the household chores, such as cleaning. In the summer time, we'd like help with lawn mowing, making firewood, fixing the fence and the walking paths etc. Taking care of the dogs would certainly be one of the main tasks. Two of the dogs have some health issues and therefore, they need some special care every day. Occasionally, we also have some kids staying at us. It would be great if you could spend some time with them, too.

In the summer and in the autumn, we like to pick wild berries and mushrooms and store them for the winter. It would be great, if you could help us with that. We would like you to stay with us like a family member, so you wouldn't be doing many different things than we do ourselves. Arja likes to dance, so if you are able to teach any kind of social dancing, she would absolutely love that.

We are quite flexible about when exactly you should be working as long as you negotiate with us beforehand when you won't be available. It's quite important you let us know about your timetable and plans, since it's not possible to leave the dogs alone for a very long time.

As a conclusion, we will have you as a part of the family so we wish you'd also contribute to the common wellbeing and homey atmosphere. The important thing for us is that you also feel like home and you can have an enjoyable stay. If you feel you might like to stay with us for a while, please send us a message.
