    Description

    Hello! I and my wife are looking for an au-pair to help us with a two-year-old boy called Valo(Light) in our everyday life. We live in peaceful and beautiful countryside about an hour from Tampere in a villa right next to a lake. We have a small garden and a big house that also needs a little help. We are a small community with three adults and two children (also a 13 year old boy now and then) and pets(dogs and cats). The third person is called Roosa and she lives in her own room downstairs.
    We are running a small guesthouse and we also run our own small businesses. As mentioned before, we live in the countryside and there are swans and cranes and foxes and occasionally wolves running nearby. The landscape is beautiful and this truly is a haven of peace.
    I mainly teach sound healing and tai chi and my wife does holistic treatments such as kranio-sacral-therapy and she also teaches her own courses. We are spiritually oriented with a holistic view of life promoting a healthy life style.
    We are looking for help for about 3-5 hours per day, five days a week. Weekends off or as agreed.
