Description
We Sebastian (43) and Ewa (45) - both from Germany, are 2 entrepreneurs who live in a small quiet home in beautiful Flatanger. We live here with our son who will be starting school this August and loves nature - especially fishing and and playing soccer or riding his bike.
Sebastian is a fishing guide/host and carpenter and runs our company, Ewa is an artist / coach / mom and works in the office. 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 the 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 might NEED a car while staying here!!

Help
We would love to have someone supporting us , so that we can have more family time and more free time to spend with our son.
A couple or two friends but of course also somebody traveling alone is/are very welcome.
We live very remote, maybe being two makes it a bit easier since we are often busy in the main season from April to October : )

English and/or German language skills are required. As mentioned we need help in all common chores around the house and with some DIY or building projects. We also have an outside area to be taken care of and two lovely cats ;) . We try to spend a lot of time outdoors but also enjoy cozy game evenings and good food - we both have a passion for cooking but not enough time ;). We would also love for someone to help us prepare healthy meals and keep the house and area tidy.

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.
Nearest bigger city is a 1,5 h car drive :) No bars or restaurants near by :) - we do not accept smoking or drinking/parties.
A small grocery shop is 6 km away and a lit bigger one about 18 km.
