We are looking for a helping person to be around the house and give hand with everyday tasks. Looking for easygoing company and an open-minded soul to be around.
We gonna have a variety of the help we need, maybe 3 h help per day and rest you can use to discover the area or enjoy the time with us, many opportunities around.
- The task you can help us with is: to offer some creative play for our 1,5 old son (Montessori, early education), that enjoys walks being outdoors when the weather promises, domestic tasks around the house inc, cleaning, hoovering, and doing some container gardening we are creating for the upcoming season.
- We have some craftwork to prepare materials to play for our son, pretty pleasant work if you like to do any craft. Some simple task cutting flashcards or preparing a manual helps to train small motoric. We have a lot of examples and if you are creative and like projects DIY that would be great. We have materials and some projects waiting to get done.
- We looking for some language and culture exchange as well, looking for someone that has a self motived attitude. We looking for some Spanish speakers who can talk to our son and explain everyday stuff. He's growing multilingual and we try offering him many options he can use in the future.

- We also have some pots in the garden for fresh herbs and veg we have already started the groundwork from growing from seed. If you like to take advantage and improve the environment create a birdhouse or an insect house from scratch. We can provide a palet and tools and you can do many useful things from it.
- Music. If you play any instrument like ukulele or guitar you are very welcome, we love music and being surrounded. However, Voss is a very cultural city or Bergen so if some opportunity for you find some way to do some small performing or so.
- Small renovation or maintenance jobs around the home. Could be some small jobs like painting the room or other little things.
