==================
We are currently looking for a Workaway to join us from early march 2026 to the end of that month. The exact leaving date is something we can discuss but your stay should be around 3-4 weeks.
==================
Main help we need
Puppy watching as we might be expecting puppies from our small ladydog in late february.
The puppies will need no special help the 3-4 fiirst weeks as the mother dog takes care of most things. However mother dog needs some help to keep her place tidy and give her walks while the kids are at school and the parents are working.
Apart from that we just need help with normal household chores such as cleaning, laundry and cooking.
Who are we?
We are a family of four, living in Lapland, in the north of Sweden. Father Perra, mother Maya and daughter Idun 14 and son Jovva 11 years old (and the small lady dog offcourse).
The kids are self-going, sociable and easy going and very used to Work Awayers. We have had mire than 30 WA over the years🤗.
We hope to give you a glimpse of Swedish Lapland - the nature, our food, culture, our everyday life - and activities according to the season!
We live in the town of Jokkmokk (2500 inhabitants), where the kids go to school.
We sometimes stay weekends in our holiday house in Kvikkjokk, which is located in a very small remote mountain village (15 inhabitants), about 1,5 hours from Jokkmokk, where you are also welcome to spend time.
We live close to nature and love being outside when we can, for example taking walks, going out with our boat, or at winter going cross country skiing, making snowmobile trips and cook over the fire.
We enjoy sharing our life style - which can of course also be busy at times when we both work and there are evening sport activities. We love food and to cook healthy and eat locally sourced moose, reindeer and fish, and vegetables with it.
In your spare time, you have plenty of opportunities to explore the beautiful forests and mountains around us (walking in summertime, and cross-country skiing in wintertime). We might not be able to join you on your explorations, but we we will assist you so you can go out in your free time.
The experience is suited if you can recognize yourself as a person who:
-Enjoy your own company and doing things on your own in your free time, but still sociable.
-Appreachiate living close to nature.
-Don't need city pulse to get your heart beat going.
-Know how to clean.
-Know how to cook basic dishes.
-Are self-going and can identify what needs to be done.
If you are this person please apply now!
Welcome!
