Help
We are a family of 5 living in Viby, the south part of the second biggest city in Denmark called Aarhus.
We are homeschooling our kids who are 8 years and 7 years and the youngest one is 2 years. The oldest one is a girl and the others are boys.
For each workawayer that we host, we make an individual agreement. One of the most important things for us is the cleanup after dinner every day.
The two larger children are both diagnosed with ADHD and one of them has Tourettes syndrome in addition. He often says things that he doesn't mean to and he can't help it. We don't expect you to have the responsibility for the children for prolonged periods but it would be nice if you could play with them, take them for walks or drive them to activities from time to time.
We dont have the time ourselves to make nice dinners so it could be nice if someone likes cooking.
If you have some special skills please write them, maybe it might be interesting for us.

What else ...
We have a bus line very near our house and the lightrail/train 1,5 km away. The busses are going to the city center of Arhus normally twice per our. You can go and see a lot of attractions in Aarhus, or you can play some sports in the park which is by the back of our house. You can take the train or the ferry to Samsø, Tunø or Sjælland and visit Copenhagen. There are 350000 people living in Aarhus and there are a lot of possibilities. If you want to discover more places we have friends who are living differently than us and we can give you some good connections.
