Description
We hope to welcome 1 workawayer for 2-4 weeks from april 🌼
We normaly only offer familystay, but:
👷If you are a craftman, or have knowledge and experience to fix things like carpentry, outdoor painting, tiles terrace and other maintenence, and you Can motivate and work by your self, then I have room at the gardenhouse for you in april and May for some projects in our gardenhouse.
🇩🇰 We are a small family living in Aalborg.
👩👦👦🧎♀️Our family consists of my 3 children age between 10-20 and me, 47-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 alotment 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, and watching family movies.
🙋♀️Mom wishes help with :
the 2 younges boys who lives with me, help in the house or garden, and someone who just loves to cook.
🤼♀️ The boys love to have a big brother or sister to play physical games with like running around, hiding, football or building something or teach them your favourite sport, instrument/Music or a quiet-game ;)
🧑My middle child is 14 years old, likes to play pc, cards or board-games, cooking, baking, watch movies, laugh and have fun. When he is bored he often starts teasing his sister and brother, driving everyone crazy 🤪😵💫
👦My youngest is 10 and enjoy different activities fx play outside, football, biking, play WII, lego, karate, watch TV, Pokemon cards, learning different languages (count to 10, songs…).
He can be noisy too, especially if his brother is teasing him.
During the weekdays the kids are in school (3 and 8 grade). In 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 ✈️
🧝🏻♀️My daughter is 20 years old, she does not live in our home anymore, but when she is not with her friends and work, she comes to visit ❤️
🇫🇴 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 all speak fluently Danish, and we all speak English.
🗓 Since the work at our place involves the kids, we prefer longterm workawayers (5-12+ 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 limits spray parfume products or other spray products. You Can put it on outside

Help
As a single mom where all family lives far away🛫🗺 ⛰ and the children's father is away for long period at a time 🚀I need help to make our family-life just a little more fun and easy with more spare hands 🤹♀️
I would welcome any help with especially:
- In the morning 7-8 before the children go to School, ☀️when the children come back home at 15 and until the children’s bedtime 20.00🌙
- in the weekends play with the kids⚽️
- in general playing with the children and babysitting 🎭
- Cooking 🥘
- help in the house with laundry, vacuum-cleaning, cleaning, dishwashing, clean the car....🧺
- in the summertime april-okt also al kind of gardening work from digging holes, cutting hedge to picking berries🧤
- basically just be the extra spare hands I often need in our daily life 🤜
🎈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 2 children in the home, it is very difficult to avoid them and you will hear loud noise and play everywhere in our small home.
🏠Since the work is in our home and to be a part of our 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 :)

The accommodation will be a bedroom with a single bed 🛌
If there is more than 1 workawayer they share the bedroom (matres on the floor).

- in the apartment
