  • Description

    Description

    We are a multicultural family. Joel is a meteorologist, naturopath and energy engineer while Anna is a massage therapist and accountant. We have 3 boys, 4y, 2y and a new born.

    Joel is currently studying and we are both got trained in the use of natural remedies, organic food and how to keep your soul and body in balance. Joel is going to have a very busy schedule and we need someone that can help us in our daily work life, with the garden and our kids.

    We live in Boet which is 25 min from Gränna, one of the most touristic places in Sweden. It is situated on the second biggest lake Vättern. From Gränna you can reach and visit the island called Visingsö with a lot of history. Gränna has more than one million tourists every year, mostly in summer.

    We are a Christian family that lives in the countryside where the bus stops just 2 times a day. There is a lot of forest around us and small lakes to visit as well. We eat and offer plant based food.

    Preferably we would like females and people that are EU-citizens.
