Help
We mostly need help with cleaning, cooking and taking care of our kids. And driving our youngest son back and forth to kindergarden.
We are looking for preferbaly a girl, (not couple and no men and preferable over 22) who has good patience and a big heart for the kids. Good if you have been around/working with kids before. Hopefully you are also a tidy person and have been living on your own so you know what it’s like to take care of a home.
We also need help with painting and other reparations in the house. So if you know how to building, (small or bigger things), and not afraid to work hard, that is a plus.
We have a garden that needs attention and time.
There is riding horses if you would like to try horseback riding.
