  Description

  (Hungarian will be 1.prio) We figure out a plan! Opend minded!,
  
  Hello. We are are a big family living up north in Norway close to Finland and Russia. 30km from Kirkenes town, in the woods, nearby the Pasvikriver:) We have in total five kids. 3 teenagers at 14 and 16years, that lives here every other week. Our 4 year old girl and babyboy lives here permanent:)
  We have our own enterprenur company were we both work. He fulltime, me as a part time. We have our smallest two at daycare man-friday from 07-14-15:00.
  
  We are looking for 1, or 2 people, maybe a couple or 2 friends doing this together. Singels are also welcome, and the first one can have a say in choosing if there is a 2. person who are interrested😊
  
  That you have a good relationship and patiens with the smallest children and can play little with them is important. They are very curious with new people. They will be in the nursery/daycare at daytime. Babysitting is not nescessary a part of the help needed, but this part we can absolute figure out😊

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Exellent opportunity to experience the north of norway. Gain inner peace through the wild nature, clima, midnatsun, while camping in the woods, fishing in the river, or other activity. We have 4-wheeled atv, tents, hammoks, boat, cano, car +++ free for usage! The work is light and our family is warm, including, respectful, and welcomming😊 You will never feel invaded or that we want to take advantage of you! We want you to feel accepted and like a part of our family! We are very opend minded, easy going and nice (i hope😅) 😊❤️😊😊 I believe those we had here last year, maybe felt like we were trying «to hard to comfort our guest»😅😅 We want the worker(s) to know that we believe good communication is the key for a good relationship😃 We are very understanding, and like straight forward people, who know how set boundaires and rules for them self😊 Please be honest and say whats on your mind, and we can figure things out together!😊 We dont want anyone to go around and have bad feelings, or feeling that they cannot tell us if something is bothering them!😊 After all, we want to learn how things works in other cultures, and countries😊

  Help

  The help needed is maybe some help with gardening, creating a nice outdoorspace, Make a potatoland, flowerbeds, planting, cutting small trees/ grass, and small outdoor projects😊 (Or as an alternative, help take care of the smallest children while I, myself do this things! 😅 Because my husband often work late hours, Im often stuck with those two little ones alone in the evenings.. I would love to spend time in the garden and work there with planting, but I dont have enough time when they are awake, or after they have gone to bed…
  
  If there is someone who can help us to learn the two smallest children the hungarian language it is VERY much appriciated!
  
  Otherwise, we have not been on a date together as wife/man, since before we got our eldest daughter, 5 years ago… (So, never had a night/late hours alone together after we married either)😅
  
  So absolutly, it would mean the most for us if someone could be a part of our family, and connected with our children so that they felt it ok to help the eldest ones to take care for them just some few hours😅

  Languages

  Languages spoken
  English: Fluent
  Hungarian: Fluent
  Norwegian: Fluent

  This host offers a language exchange
  We all speak english okay, My husband speak fluent hungarian, and I do understand alot of it. He find it very hard to teach and speak hungarian to our two children we have together, since the rest of us only speak norwegian at home… But both of the smalles children is used to the language, beacause they are being spoked to in hungarian from grandparents, family and some of our workers in our company. We reeeeeally want them to feel the language as a normal part of them. maybe I can learn as well😊 We can also help learning norwegian if wanted😊

  Accommodation

  We have a big caravan equipped with all fascilities, that will give some personal space for the worker/workers. 3 beds, big fridge, cookingstove, water, tv, internet, toilet, shower (but the shower inside the main house is recomanded😅) we also have IR-Sauna inside the main house, that the workers are free to use😊
  .
  All food will be provided for. This part we’ll figure out together. Either you eat meals with us, or we can go shopping together so you can make food yourself in the caravan. or something in the middle😊 We love to try new things, so the workers are welcome to cooking dinner for the family as well if they want to sometimes, but only if they want to😊
  
  Also, as an alternative, we have one extra bedrome inside the house, with tv, a large bed, and there is no problem if the workaway want to stay there😊 (some noises from the others must be toleratetd then😅😊 but this we can figure out!😊😊

  What else ...

  We have a car to disposal, so that the workers have driverlicense is preferred. We also have a big cano, hammocks, tents, atv and bicycles, fishing equipments, clothes for disposal if you want to explore the area and just enjoy the beatiful nature we have here. We are very flexible about time and tasks! It is just fun for us if someone wants to come and stay with us some weeks😃😃
  
  
  Last year we had two girls staying for some weeks. We had never heard about workaway. It all started after they asked at a local facebook group if someone in our area had a room/place they could stay overnight because they were travelling through the area.. They was actually finishing their «workaway» stay with cleaning beaches along the cost, and were going to hitchhike from here to south and from there take a train..😅 I offered they to stay in our large caravan outside.. It ended up that 2 of them stayed 3-4 weeks! We enjoyed it!
  And after speaking with them and telling my dreams about this garden, and that I never got the time for everything I wish to do, they recommanded that we tried this site, and put an host- add here😊 So thats why we want to try at this site this year😊
  
  We promise that we will include you in this family like you’ve always been a part of it!❤️
