Description
I am a single mom of 3 living in one of the worlds most beautiful place, Engeløya in Steigen in north Norway. Just Google it …. then you see ;-). It's only me and my youngest son (10y) living here now, the other two have left the nest for study.
We live in a very big and old house. The house and the garden need more love, attention and work then I have time for ( and knowledge). So if you are good with carpentry, DIY, painting, general maintenance, gardening, cooking, and in mix with relaxing and also a nice, helpful and a polite person, we like to welcome you to our place :-).
We have a big place, so to get some privacy should not be a problem.
We live remotely, next door to nature and with northern lights more then street lights during winter time and midnight sun in the summer.
If you like the outdoors…. We are the place 😊

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
First and last you will get to live, relax and do a little work in a unique place that very few know about. And you will get to know us and become a part of our family. We have a very welcoming community. Small community far away from all stress. But dont worry, we are not that far from service and shops, about 10-20 minutes drive :-)
Projects involving children

Help
We mostly need help with gardening, maintenance work, clearing out old stuff and planning.
I also sometimes might need little general “family help”, housework and cooking. I work quite a lot so some hours with my son ( he speaks very good English) are to be expected. Here is little as nothing within walking distance so you need to have driver license !!
