Description
Hi! I am a recently divorced, now single mom of two small girls. I am employed at aconsulting company where I work part time. My two fantastic girls are Maalia (4 years) and Aili (1 year).
I love getting to know different cultures. I try to maintain a responsible, sustainable lifestyle. We are involved in some sustainability projects in the area. Projects include gardening, harvesting and making consumable products at home with local resources available.
I have just transitioned from the apartment where I used to live with my ex husband, to a tiny house in the countryside. It is currently parked behind my brother-in-law's house, Dana.
Our tiny home is located in the little quaint village Kloster. It gets it's name from the historical monastery site. A bedroom is usually available in Dana's house and sometimes at another neighbor's house.
I need help with babysitting and household work in order to work part time.
There are some historical sites, other workaway volunteers in the area and lots of interesting permaculture and tiny house projects in the area.

We are a trilingual household, (English, Spanish, Swedish) so the preferred language can be spoken.

Also there might be some gardening and household projects in other homes nearby.
We appreciate someone who can contribute some ideas to healthy and responsible cooking and living.

I absolutely loved to take care of the two super cute girls, and I learnt a lot from Tara. She's a very inspiring woman who always has some kind of project going on, and I aspire to have her energy and kindness if I'm a mother one day.
