Description
Maybe there is somebody some is traveling in Norway already?
We are a family that does not live together. The children live with their father for a week, with their mother for a week. The workaway ist following the kids.
Mainly we are looking for someone who can help us with all everyday things.
Jostein has a small farm with 15 cows, sheep and a cat. There will also be work such as stables, woodwork, gardening, etc. to take place there.
We live in a small village with almost 1000 inhabitants, but in a beautiful setting with lots of nature / outdoor opportunities.
At Jostein, your bedroom is in the partially renovated basement area and the shared bathroom is on the ground floor. In addition to a bed and wardrobe, you have a sofa corner and an oven in your room, where you can make yourself comfortable.
With Ina you have a bedroom on the same level with a bed and wardrobe and a shared bathroom.
The children live 50% with me, mum and 50% with dad. We have a 6 year old daughter and a 3 year old son, he goes to kindergarten and she goes to school now. I speak German with the children, the father speaks Norwegian. There I would of course like more support from a workawayer so that our children get even more German input :)
We look forward to you :-)
I'm open to all questions, just contact us :)
We prefer a German-speaking person because of our children.
