🇩🇰 We are a small family living in Aalborg.
👩👦👦🧎♀️Our family consists of my 3 children age between 7-17 and me, 44-year-old mom and ocationally 1-2 workayaers ☺️ We are hoping to soon welcoming our next long-term workayer, maybe its you?
🌱🌸 we have a garden (kolonihave) approx 3 km from our home, where we enjoy the garden from April-oct.
🎲We enjoy learning to know other people, swimming, playing board games and cards, watching Disney show and family movies.
🙋♀️Mom wishes help with the kids, in the house or garden, and someone who just loves to cook.
🧝🏻♀️My daughter 17. She started in High School august 2020. She likes to write stories, read fantasy/Sci-fi/crime books and watch movies. She is half of the time at her fathers home practising Independency.
🤼♀️ The boys love to have a big brother (or sister) to play physical games with like running around, hiding, football, dancing or building something or teach them your favourite sport, instrument/Music or a quiet-game ;)
🧑My middle child is 12 years old, very hyperactive and noisy, likes to play cards or board-games, cooking, baking, pc, watch movies, laugh and have fun. When he is bored he often starts teasing his sister and brother, driving everyone crazy.
👦My youngest is 7 years old and enjoy playing outside, play WII, lego, hide and seek, he loves karate. He can be noisy too, and fight with his older siblings.
During the weekdays the kids are in school (1 and 6 grade) the weekends and School-vacation they are home.
👨🦰 The children's father works approx 10-12 weeks abroad and then stay at home approx 10-12 weeks ✈️
🇫🇴 Despite we live in Denmark, I am originally from the Faroe Islands, which means that the rest of the children's and my family/relatives live in the Faroe Islands 1400 km away from Denmark.
🗣 Daily we speak Faroese at home, but we also speak fluently Danish, and we speak English.
🗓 Since the work at our place involves the kids, we prefer longterm workawayers (12+ weeks), to prevent too many changes for the kids, they already miss their father for weeks, and because they bond to you and miss our workawayers when they leave 💔
🔴🔴🔴
Since we are a family with children, I require that workawayers who apply:
- show concern and manners with alcohol and smoking 🍻
- because of allergi 💦 I hope workawayer will limit their use of parfume or in general spray parfume products or other spray products. You Can put it on outside

🎈I only want workawayers to apply if you really love children (especially the noisy, hyperactive and naughty ones ;) ) and want to spend time with the children.
🎢 With 3 children in the home, it is very difficult to avoid them and you will hear loud noise and play everywhere in our home.
🏠Since the work is in our home and to be a part of the family, it is also difficult to have free-time while you are inside our home when the children are home around you, but you are free to explore Aalborg/Denmark :)
