Description
I am a 34-year old single mum, living in the countryside with my family 🪵✨🍀💕
I am an artist and also work at the local Museum Cafetera 4days a week
My son Angelo is 4-years amazing sunshine, with a big heart and a strong will! He is very lively and hyperactive. Angelo is also neurodevelopmental differences, for example he is hyper sensitive to touch and has sensory seeking behaviour.
The help with us would needs to be flexible and able to be self-initiate as well.
The help varies according to seasons.
In the winter we use alot of time to warm the house, and the wood needs to be carried inside from the barn. In the winter when it snows there's some light snow work, and likewise in the summer mowing the lawn and watering plants. Spring time we plant and fall we harvest.
You would be possibly helping with cooking, (we are vegetarian) babysitting, cleaning, driving license a huge plus! Walking the dogs, they are quite easy, the bigger dog is able to be outdoors by her self but smaller needs to be guarded or on a leash.

You will get the legit countryside experience in Finland. The air is clean, there are no street lights, no sounds of busy car roads near by.
You can be part of our family and activities, or you can have as much space as you would like.
I drive my son to the city called Tampere 3weekends a month, and I can drive you to see the places if you want, or you can take a train from here, it takes only 40minutes.
Tampere city (size250 000) has lots of restaurants, museums, and art galleries, and is a lively town with friendly folk!
There is a local small Juupajoki downtown called Korkeakoski with all the necessary, local market, library, restaurant, train station, kindergarden etc. 7km away.
The closest buss goes from 3km away, I can always offer you rides that fit my schedule, to go to places, you would need or want to go.
There are stables around with horses, and lots of beautiful places around, heres a couple to name a few ✨

We have a sauna at the house, at your disposal, we usually warm it couple times a week. Staying with us you can also learn some Finnish, and English if you would like to. I'm an Art and Yoga instructor, and I love DIY projects, if you want to join me for morning yoga and meditation, and art shop work, I love to shear what I know.
I am starting my journey on DIY projects, and I am more in the receiving end of it, but I know the basics.
