Description
Hi, I’m Sidsel. I am 50 years old, and recently moved to Sandefjord and am in the middle of a writing process with my master with dealine 1st of June.
After that I could use some organized help and good company. My daughter comes home on the 19th of June after one year abroad. I would like everyting to look supernice and clean till she comes home.
So if someone could come before she comes home, and help me with the cleaning and organizing for about some days or maybe a week or two at the begining of June, that would be lovely.
I live in a small, cosy house in the town center with 3 bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. There’s a parking space available for a normal car. Sharing the house with us is my friendly Norwegian Forest cat.
Sandefjord is a charming coastal town with beaches, cafés and an open atmosphere. There are fine train connections to Oslo and Kristiansand, and Torp airport is nearby. Telemark’s mountains and nature are only 1–2 hours away by car.
Hopefully you’ll feel at home here while also enjoying the beauty of Norway.
Since the house is very small, I usually prefer shorter stays, normally a maximum of 10 days.
Warm wishes,
Sidsel
P.S. Important: non-smokers only. Smoking is not allowed on the property.

I am a warm and engaged host.
I live close to the nature, to Sandefjord city and to public transports, so you will be able to go out and see a lot of things easily.
I can help you finding good tours, if you like.
I am adventurous and would love to learn about your culture, and teach you about mine.
Help
House tasks like cleaning and tidying up, helping me being well installed in my new house. This could include some light DIY.

I am Danish, even I live in Norway. So if you study Danish, I would love to help you. I would love to learn your language, especially the Latin languages.
Accommodation
Two private 1 bed rooms and possibility of mattresses. The bedrooms are upstairs, and the staircase has narrow steps. It’s perfectly fine for most people, but it may be challenging if you have reduced mobility. If needed, I’m happy to rearrange the rooms, so just let me know in advance.
We eat breakfast together at 8-9, dinner about 12 and supper around 4-6 pm. I like to make healthy and green food, mainly vegetarian. I am flexible about your needs. If you want expensive foods, please help with buying foods sometimes, since I live on a low budget.
What else ...
I live in Sandefjord. From Torp or Oslo airport you can go by train. Buy ticket on the app VY.
You can also take the ferry from Hirtshals (Denmark) to Larvik and take a bus.
There is good public transport in Sandefjord.

Leah is kind, good hearted, and we all loved her good… read more

Sidsel is a special woman, she comes naturally to help people and she is surrounded by many friends, all nice. So we felt as at home and we tried to do our best to be helpful: cooking, cleaning the house, feeding the rabbits, teaching sewing.
We also visited the beautiful Faroe Islands by bus, boat, car (thanks to Sidsel's father-in-law),… read more

Livia and Francesca have helped us with a lot of needlework, so the clothes fits and the apartment is more cosy with new dew and new pillowcases. Francesca and… read more

Sidsel is a fantastic host and now a dear friend. We stayed with her for nearly two weeks, and in that time we really got to know her, several of her wonderful friends, and more about life in the Faroe Islands.
Sidsel is warm, open-hearted, generous, fun, and super bright. She’s as good with conversation as she is with cooking (both excellent),… read more

Davie and Gill, and the rest of their crew (Diane, Mathiew and Beatrice) are really beautiful people. We had so much fun, and their company is enjoyable. Besides, Davie is a skilled builder. We got the most amazing rabbit cage made, thanks to Davie and his crew. And lots of coffee and cosy visits in their sailboat. I miss them all already, and… read more

During my two weeks in the Faroe Islands I stayed at Sidsel's place for nearly 10 days altogether, which was such a unique experience! We had enjoyed some English word games, and I was happy to paint the ceiling of the room, I have never done that before, haha. They are amazing lovely people, and I LOVED the Norwegian cat, which was super fluffy… read more

Sidsel and her daughters welcomed me for two unforgettable weeks in the Faroe Islands. To be honest, I didn't work so hard there... I felt as a part of the family; the table was always plenty of delicious food and I got a lot of free time. We have been playing together, meeting travellers and friends, visiting beatiful sights around the… read more
