    Description

    We Sebastian and Ewa in our 40ies - both from Germany, are 2 entrepreneurs who live in a small quiet home in beautiful Flatanger with our son (6) and 2 cats. We have very busy lives, but in free time we love sports, fishing, game evenings, good food, sauna, and really enjoy the little time we have as a family.
    Our home is right by a small beach and in the middle of nowhere where it is very quiet and peaceful, in autumn you can see the northern lights from your terrace and in the summer the nights are just as light as day time. It is very peaceful here but always something to do like kayaking, hiking, bike riding, fishing :) . You NEED a car while staying here!!

    We would love to have someone supporting us, so that we can have more family or free time. We appreciate help in preparing meals and keeping the house tidy with daily chores like laundry and cleaning.
    Sometimes helping our son get ready to school and watch him for a short time.

    A couple or two friends are very welcome since we live very remote and it can get lonely, but of course also somebody traveling alone is very welcome. We are often busy in the main season and enjoy our alone or family time.

    English and/or German language skills are required.

    There are also some small projects that need to be finished like painting a wooden door, tidying up a garage where a helping hand would be lovely or organizing a flee market.
    A small grocery shop is 6 km away and a bigger one about 18 km.
    No bars or restaurants near by :)
    Nearest bigger city is a 1,5 h car drive :)
    ! We do not accept smoking or drinking!
