Loving, open-minded and creative family at Møn island in Denmark

Details

  Description

  I am Danish, my boyfriend is from Serbia and Montenegro, and we met while I was teaching in Norway.
  
  I am a teacher, he is a physiotherapist, but he works as a manager for the cleaning service at the Møn Factory that producer the famous Karen Wolf cookies. We can bring you lots of cookies from there, if you do eat that.
  
  
  We live at the wonderful Island of Møn in Denmark. A lot of tourists are here because they love the Nature but especially the energy here (we have hosted people from a rental platform at our boat and caravan the last couple of years, and this is what they also say themselves). It is only a 1 hour drive and 15 minutes from Copenhagen. Danish people consider that a lot, but really it isn’t (Denmark is just a small country and people here are not used to long distances).
  
  We love going to Copenhagen when we have the time, you can join us of course.
  
  
  People at the Island are calm, creative and alternative in their way of thinking and living. Young people in the 20s and 30s live here, as well as other ages too, of course. But there are many creative young people here.
  
  Also a lot of families from Copenhagen with small kids move here, because they want a more quiet and calm life for themselves and their kids, and they want to have space for their creative lifestyle. So they bring their creative thoughts and life style with them, this is one reason why Møn is an inspiring and interesting place to live.
  
  
  What we would want you to, is first of all to have a great time. It is possible to get to know other people easily here if you are open-mindet, there are more work-away people at the island too and social activities you can join. People at Møn are very welcoming.
  We have a sauna at home you can use during the day (maybe when or after I use it, so we don’t have to heat it up twice, I use it daily). And a spa we are planning to put up outside, soon.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  People at the Island are calm, creative and alternative in their way of thinking and living. Young people in the 20s and 30s live here, as well as other ages too, of course. But there are many creative young people here.
  
  There are social gatherings throughout the week, write and ask if there is something you specifically are interested in, then I can answer you or look if it is possible for you to join.
  
  It is possible to get to know other people easily here if you are open-mindet. There are more work-away people at the island too, and as mentioned there are social activities you can join. People at Møn are very welcoming.
  
  And then of course if you are interested to get to know us as a family while you work with us, then you should know that we are a very open-minded, loving and caring family.
  
  We love going to Copenhagen when we have the time, and then you can join us of course, stay for longer in Copenhagen or what you are interested in. You can also take a short busride and then a train to Copenhagen by yourself.

  Help

  The two smallest at 2 and 4 years old are home with me.
  
  The oldest at 6 years are in school during the day. You are welcome to help pick her up if you do have a license and / or to drive her to school. Also to play with them while I make dinner or make dinner while I play with them. I miss having time to play with them, so I might want to do that while you cook, but we can switch sometimes.
  
  We also need help with doing the dishes, and once a week or just when needed, help clean the house.
  
  Our garden needs maintenance, this should be relaxing and nice.
  We have a nice garden but not giant. So it is possible to do work there that is not too hard or difficult.
  
  
  
  People often say that we have very harmonious children. Our daughters are 4 and 6 years old, and their little brother is 2 years old. They have personality and know what they want, they are very loving and curious, and we put clear boundaries so they don’t control the household. We also let them show their feelings but we don't let them go out of control, as mentioned.
  
  They don’t watch much TV and they don't know how to use an iPad. They like to play outside in the garden or at playgrounds.
  
  They are quite easy to take care of, because they play by themselves or most often with each other (the girls who are 4 and 6 years old). The one at 2, he starts to play more and more with them.
  
  Our son who is 2 years old is more active than the girls. He is like a real active boy. He needs some one-on-one attention sometimes, and then he can easier do more calm activities.
  
  He likes to play with you, play games or figure out how things work, and he likes to be outside too, burning off some energy. He is a cute, little curious boy.
  
  And if you want to play with the kids, they would love that. But they understand a “no” and they can also sense it even without you saying it.
