Description
Hello there!
My name is Nicole, I live in the beautiful countryside south of Gothenburg and only a stone's throw from the sea. I live in quite a large house in quiet surroundings and have endless ongoing projects around both the house and garden. I am an avid traveller, nature enthusiast and have recently become a yoga instructor.
I have three lovely daughters who are all currently residing outside of Sweden. I live alone and will be working irregular hours during the summer which means that you will be alone in the house when I am working or busy. This leaves me in need of some assistance :)

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Living in the Swedish countryside you'll get a nice opportunity to live in a peaceful, friendly community. You'll get the ocean, including all our secret spots to yourself. I speak Swedish, English, French and German all fluently so if you' like to practice or feel more comfortable conversing in any of those I'd be happy to.

Help
I am looking for a person that can come now until end of May for about a week to help me with scrubbing the wooden floors outdoors and some gardening work.
I have many projects in an around the house but priority is given to a person(s) who has experience in painting. I need help with the following:
* repaint the windows
*scrub and paint part of the house
* scrubbing the wooden terraces
* digging and removing soil
* Weeding and general gardening
* Remove stones and roots
*Prepare soil for plants
It's a big plus if you have experience in painting and that you are precise in your work. You are an active person(s), who doesn't mind getting your hands dirty and have a good working attitude and a keen eye for detail.
My house is precious to me :)

Accommodation
You'll have your own spacious room, with a double bed that is located on the ground floor by the entrance. You'll have your private toilet on the first floor and a shared shower.
There's also a pool and sundeck you are welcome to use anytime.
You have access to a bicycle which you can also use any time you like. The bus station is a 10 minute bicycle ride from the house and travel time to Gothenburg is around 1hr total (bus&train).
Food and meals are not included. But occasionally it would be nice to prepare a meal together.
What else ...
I live on a peninsula which has many coves and swimming spots to discover. All of these clear water areas are reachable by walk or bicycle.
Kungsbacka is the closest town which has shopping malls, restaurants & cute cafes and is definitely worth a visit during your stay. There are regular buses running to and from Kungsbacka (25 minutes).
When I'm not working I'm usually pottering around the garden, going on walks through the forest, picking berries, practicing yoga or dancing Kizomba.
In my garden I've got a range of berries and rhubarb you are welcome to pick when seasonal. There are also plenty of spots nearby where you can find endless blueberries, blackberries & mushrooms (around August typically).
