  Description

  I'm am a 40 years old woman with 3 kids (4, 8 and 10 years) and live a little bit outside the city of Gothenburgh in Sweden. I'm french but I have been living in Sweden for 15 years, I'm well immersed in the swedish culture and have a lot of friends here. Gothenburgh is the second biggest city in Sweden, located along the west cost, the city is close to the sea but even to the beautiful countryside with tons of forest and lakes. I live in a very nice house, just in front of the forest, and only 30 minutes from the center of the city. The proximity of the nature is incredible here, the perfect place for nature lovers.
  
  I have my 3 kids full time except every two weekends when they are with their dad. I'll need help at home for taking care of the kids, driving them to school or activities, maybe cooking and cleaning a bit also. My kids have lots of energy and are really active: they love to play, be outside and do sports.
  
  Since I'm divorced I do not have a lot of time for myself but when I get some time I love to do sport (running, hiking in the forest, skiing), I love to swim in the lake (even in winter), I like gardening. And my indoors hobbies are sewing and playing piano. I just have to many hobbies and not enough time for them :-)

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Even if I am from France I have a very big social network here and I used to do a lot of things with friends, most of them are from Sweden but I even have foreigners friends (from Mexico, Greece, France, Spain) so the cultural exchange is almost continuously. I like to celebrate the typical swedish traditions.

  Help

  I'll need help with the kids, especially in the afternoon/evenings (between 16-21) and every other sundays, for playing with them, help to cook/clean or drive them to their activities or staying at home with one or two kids when I drive the others etc. etc. To have 3 kids is a big logistic so the help can be in very different ways.
  I would appreciate to even have some help for cooking or cleaning sometimes.
  The workawayer will need to have a driving license.
