    Description

    Hello! Thanks for visiting our profile😊
    We love workaway -and have good experiences👍

    We are a family of 3, me and my girlfriend. Ida has a lovely 12 years old daughter😊
    We both work daytime all week and Idas daughter is in school. She attend handball and take dance lessons - so some weekends are filled up with tournaments. Lately we've been using the weekends to refurbish the house and take care of the garden. There is always something to do with an old house. But we also make time to do some relaxing, like going to the waterfalls for a swim, or just drink coffee outside in the garden.

    You have to like to keep yourself company, since we both work during the day and Idas daughter is in school and after school activities. But we also include you in our daily life:)

    We need some help with household, refurbishing parts of the house and general renovation. We also need help with walking the dog, cooking dinner and keeping the house clean. In the spring time we need help with gardening.

    We are very flexible in regards of working hours and leisure time. You can go hiking or skiing in the area or go on longer trips.

    We enjoy good and healthy food. We eat meat.
