  Description

  My name is Emely and I live in southern Sweden with my husband Fredrik, our son Lowe aged 4 and our cat Tessan. We live in a big house with an old style, we have some more houses around the garden too. When you come to us I want you to feel at home. We are an open, honest and happy family. I work as a teacher and my husband as a train technician. We love being outside and meet new people. We are a private homestead and are only producing for our own consumption.

  The help is very free and it depends on what we need help with at the exact time you choose to come and what you are comfortable doing.
  The help here will vary with the seasons and depend on the weather, as well as what I find needs to be done, there are always something to be done. If you are good at carpentry it will be absolutely amazing if you can help renovate. But all kind of help is apprecitated.
  
  A typical day starts when you feel like it, between 6 am-11.30am. A day includes 6 hours of help, but you are free to start your day whenever between 6am-11.30 with a break for lunch. The help is 6 days in a week. You will have your own room or share it with another helper and we will share kitchen and bathroom. I do hope that we cook and eat together at times. Otherwise you make your own food. I will pay for your groceries, unless otherwise agreed.

  What else ...

  I expect that you are a happy person who loves to meet new people. Wish you gain respect and humility because this is our home. You must speak English either as a first language or as a second language because that would be the language we will communicate trough. You like to use your muscles and get dirt under your nails. I'm not always a home, so its needed that you can do tasks independently and be initiative. We will do some tasks together.
