    Description

    We are a family of 4 in a small town in North of Sweden. We live in a house in the country. We have a dog. We will provide food and comfortable place to stay.
    We need some help for organize places around the house (cutting grass and firewood, gardening, painting, cleaning, moving and organizing stuff...) is a lot of physical work 😊. Sometimes we do caterings like wedding and birthdays.

    ABOUT OUR PLACE! There is one or two buses going down hill 5 km to Näsåker in the morning each workday at 7 and 8:45 am, and one or two buses going back around 5 pm.here is a grocery store, gym, library, small public bath with sauna, church, coworkingspace, outdoor gym, a little ski slope, petrol station, one cafeteria and one pizzeria and so on. There is also the largest place for rock carvings in Europe, up to 6000 years old and a very beautiful view (photos) over the river.

    45 km south is the municipal capital Sollefteå, of 8000 people, 550 km north of Stockholm. It takes about 1 to 2 hour with car to the bigger cities of Östersund, Örnsköldsvik, Umeå, Sundsvall. There are some buses going from Sollefteå to those cities every workday, and some on sundays.

    If you are an experienced carpenter, construction worker or painter we can almost always host you at any time.

    We also have an opening for someone to help us with the kids when we work a lot during the summer, this also includes light cooking and light housework. May to september. Minimum stay of 2 month. You can chose to stay in our guest room or if we have more work aways in the other house.

    We would love to video chat so we can get to know you a bit more!

    PD: We need a lot of help during the month of June/July/August, during this time we will need maybe extra hours of help during some days (we attend to 2 festivals selling food) but you will still do the same amount of hours in total.
    We will prefer long stays (1month minimum)❤️.
