Help a family in the peaceful countryside of rural Lier, Norway

  Description

  Single Mother living at a peaceful horse property in central Norway seeking help with childcare and animal care. We live a quiet and mindful life. We try to limit EMFs and ask that whomever comes have their own spiritual practice and do the inner work to keep their energy clean with a positive mindset. We are primarily vegetarian. We welcome all diets but will only cook vegan/vegetarian meals.
  
  There are four horses on property and a preference will be given those with horse experience (riding, handling etc). But this is not a requirement. Having your own car is a preference but not a necessity. We can do grocery runs together on a weekly basis (grocery stores less than 10 min away). We offer clean water and air and astonishing nature to bask in. Perfect for those seeking a peaceful getaway and those with a passion for the outdoors. Amazing location for wildlife photographers.
  
  A preference given those passionate about cooking (healthy vegetarian meals) and those who naturally thrive in a clean and tidy home environment and who's not afraid to self initiate any tasks that needs to be done.
  
  There will be ample amount of time for rest and to do your own thing.
  
  ((Please note that this is a family home where a natural amount of 'chaos' is to be expected 😅)) . A moderate to high tolerance (and patience) for a child s natural curiosity and energy level is a favorable trait.
  
  Approximately 25/hrs a week.
  
  General outline of chores:
  - Daily feeding of the horses
  - Mucking and filling up water
  - Help with blanketing when appropriate
  - Help with light household chores (emptying of trash, vacuuming, surface cleaning etc.)
  - Engagement/chilplay
  - Co- rider for days my child is at kindergarten (for experienced riders only)
  
  Possibility to borrow my car once I deem you a reliable driver. Options for both solo and shared exploration.
  
  Otherwise I'm an introvert and therefore much aware of the need for solitude, peace and retrieval for those of you with similar personality types. There are forest trails nearby and a small local beach within walking distance.
  
  Ten minute walk to the nearest bus stop that will take you to Drammen or Oslo.
  
  Opportunities to learn / practice intuitive animal/equine communication and equine energy healing for those with special interest.
  
  Another preference will be given to those spiritually oriented with experience within the healing arts (reiki, energy work, intuitive, massage body work,sound healing etc.).
  
  Additionally I am trained in equine assisted psychotherapy and mental health counseling. I am also a nutritionist so there will be opportunities to learn more about holistic health and healthy nutrition.
  
  We welcome stays any duration with a two week trial to ensure that this is a good fit for all of us.
  
  Preferably someone mature and grounded, with great humor and a kind heart and with a positive mindset.
  
  Laughter is the best medicine. (If you make us laugh you definitely have won us over!) 🤠
