  You are welcome to apply for 2026!
  
  Welcome to the Finnish countryside – enjoying peaceful nature and bit more hectic family life 😄
  
  Hello! We are a Finnish family living in the peaceful countryside. We have three children (ages 4, 9 and 11) and are looking for a calm and friendly new friend to join our family life. Help with cleaning and cooking is much appreciated.
  
  Accommodation is in a cozy lakeside cabin about 100 meters from our home – a perfect place for someone who enjoys nature! The cabin has no electricity or running water, but it offers a peaceful retreat to unwind after the day. The lake next to the cabin is great for swimming and stand-up paddleboarding.
  
  We provide you with daily meals and flexible working hours can be agreed together.
  
  You’ll also have the chance to explore nearby villages and experience authentic local life in the Finnish countryside. There are bus connections from the nearest town Joutsa to Jyväskylä (1 hour) and Helsinki (2 hours), so exploring further is easy too.
  
  Help may include, depending on your interests:
  • Household chores (cleaning, cooking)
  • We’re also open to creative ideas and personal projects!
  
  We hope you are:
  • Open-minded, calm and positive
  • Interested in rural life and nature
  
  If this sounds like a good fit for you, don’t hesitate to reach out – we’d love to hear from you! 😊
