Description
Hi, We are a small family of four that lives in Dalarna.
My name is Mikaela and my partners name is Tobias and we have a daughter that is six years old and a son that’s five years old. We also have cats and some chickens.
We bought the house in 2018 and we would like som help with some gardening. This year I am hoping to build a greenhouse from old windows and I have also gotten my hands on some peace of land that I want to turn into a garden paradice 😍. So if you have any garden or building experience it would be great 😀.
You would mostly be an extra hand for Mikaela.
Some other work would involve some painting, organizing, som yard work, take care of the chickens watch over the kids etc.
Around the house we have forest, miniature horses on the other side of the street. And still only a ten minute bike ride from the city. Only 15 minutes to the ski mountain -downhill and cross country.
We are really excited to meet new people and to share our home.
Looking forward to hear from you :)
