Description
We are a social family of five, spending summer in the country close to a lake (200 meters) in South of Dalarna. We have a 1,5-yo, a 7 yo and a 9 yo. Our kids are used to having live in visitors as they had an Au-pair being part of our family when they were small, which we all enjoyed very much. They are all good fun and the oldest speaks English quite a bit, the second one fairly, the little one - not so much Swedish or English ;)
We have a little cottage where you will have your own room but share the rest of the equipment with us. There are bikes and lakes and a lot of beautiful places to visit around. We need help in the garden to get it to be more comfortable as we got the cottage last year and it has “for fallen”, maybe cut down a tree or two, fix the lawn and flower gardens. We also have a Campervan project that we would like to make happen this summer. So of you are good with that kind of stuff that is great.
Are you the right match for us? In that case we will love to get to know you and share are culture and summer life with us in Sweden.
