Description
Hey there, I am 44 years old single parent and work with trucks in Örnsköldsvik. I have 11 years old twins and six Alaskan Malamutes. I train the dogs as sled dogs, but they are still family dogs too. when you live with dogs, one of them is always with you. Enjoying the outdoors with my dogs is one of my favourite things to do. We live in the middle of the high coast, which is a beloved area. And it would be good if you have a driver's license. I would like to see someone who can imagine staying a longer time. preferably more than two months.
think about if you can and if you want to come here and help before you start writing

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
In our little village (around 900 habitants) in the heart of the high coast you can fully enjoy Sweden’s nature. We live on the foot of Skuleberget and near the Nationalpark Skuleskogen. So, you will find many hiking trails in the area and also directly around the house. The village has a small industry, like a small supermarket or café. Moreover, you find the typical red cabins, but not so much party and people.
I can teach you about my dogs, especially how to train and read them. You will get the chance to see how a sled dog works and maybe join a sled tour. Furthermore, I have knowledge about living, camping and enjoy the nature.
If you like to, me and the kids will try to learn you Swedish. I’m also open to learn a new language, especially German.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
The work you will get is most everyday task. A big part of it, is fixing with the dogs 70%, like feeding, going for a walk and of course cuddling ;) I would also like you to help me with training the dogs in aunt, winter and spring. Aside from that you should fix in the household, for example cooking, cleaning or watching on my two girls.

Accommodation

You will be alone at home over the morning- and daytime, because I work fulltime and the kids will be in school.
