    Hello, world. We are a family of 5, Melissa (American), Rune (Danish), Joy, Noah (Born in Norway), and Mishka (our dog). We have a lovely property on a lake backed by nature in Norway. We are open to hosting in Norway from April on. We would need nannying, cooking, cleaning, massage, and helping with some outdoor projects including gardening and overall support/assistance.
