Description
My name is Madeleine. I live in the northern part of Sweden, in a small village called Pajala. Pajala is located above the Arctic circle.
I live with my three kids. A son, 12 years old. And twins (boy and girl), 10 years old.
The oldest kid has a father and lives with his father every other week. The twins live with me full time and don’t have another parent.
We also have a cat and a dog. 🐈🐕
I work at school as resource educator ☺️
We live in a nice neighborhood with lovely neighbors.
What I expect from you:
I value a cooperative atmosphere in our home. I expect you to be a responsible, self-motivated adult who is able to take initiative and act independently, without needing constant direction. I also expect you to respect personal boundaries while staying in our home.
Basic cooking skills are needed so you can help with simple meals, I also expect shared spaces such as the kitchen and living room to be kept clean and tidy. These things make a big difference in our daily life.
Having workawayers is meant to help ease my daily responsibilities and give me some breathing space.
So that expectations are clear, personal items are to be paid for by yourself.
If we take part in an activity that involves a higher cost, you are expected to cover this yourself, unless I clearly state otherwise.
Welcome to our family ☺️

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We have a lot to offer here in the northern part of Sweden. Icehotel not far away from Pajala, reindeers, snow, northern lights, snowmobiles, skiing, nature around the corner. And during the summer we have the midnight sun. The sun never sets so it’s bright outside 24/7. ☀️
Help
Being a single mom I have a lot on my hands.
I’d like to get some help with simple tasks around the house, shovelling snow, cook, cleaning up in the kitchen and walking the dog when I’m at work.

She stayed with us for almost two weeks. Such a delight to have her in the house and she helped around the house and with the kids. When my son was ill and needed to be hospitalized Corinna took care of the house, my daughter and the four legged. So appreciated!

She was absolutely a great help for me during her stay here. She saw what needed to be done in the house and the way she connected with my kids brought me to tears of joy.
Salome is a humble, funny, positive, kind and a very clever young woman. We had conversations about a lot of things. ☺️
