Description
We are a family of four with a six year old boy and a four year old girl. We both work in schools, he as a teacher in math and science ad she as a social worker. Before we met each other we traveled a lot and collectively we have been to most parts of the world. Nowadays we live in a 1,5 story house with a big yard that partly has been allowed to be reclaimed by nature. We are trying to reclaim some parts of our garden. We have tree hen and one roster and three cats. We live close to nature on the countryside with sheep right on our doorstep, a lake perfect for swimming a 10 minute bike ride away, 10 minutes by car to the closest shopping center and 20 minutes by car to the center of town, Karlskrona.

Help
General gardening and landscaping, reclaiming parts from nature, making more parts of the garden more accessible. This requires moving quite a lot of dirt by hand, raking, sowing grass. A lot of freedom here to choose where and what to do, making your own designs and experiment.
3. Wood maintenance, there are a lot of wood framing our yard, three big fences, a balcony and logs placed as support along the different levels of our yard. More or less all of these need a fresh coat of paint.
4. Cooking, cleaning and day to day maintenance of the house.

You will be living on the bottom floor by your self sleeping in a queen size bed with your own entrance and bathroom. You'll have your own TV with chromecast installed. During the summer this is the coolest place to sleep in in our house.
What else ...
On your time off we recommend visiting the lake, taking walks around the forests around the house, go for a bike ride or drive into the summer town of Karlskrona, which is on UNESCOs list over world heritages, and visit museums, restaurants, or visit the archipelago which is very affordable and accessible.

Elin and Alex are really caring and kind persons. I am happy that I got to know them,… read more
