Help
Your tasks will vary depending on your skills and when you are here. In general, we may need help with housework, cooking meals, baking, and maybe help with the kids; like playing outside, pick up at kindergarden, and so.
There may be other tasks, that depends on your skills. This could be painting the house, assist on carpentry projects in our home, or maybe mechanic projects in the garage. And also, if we are going to travel, we may ask you to look after our house (housekeeping), and maybe even watch the dog (petsitting).
We also rent out cabins to tourists, and if you are here during the rental season, you may help us with cleaning and tidying the cabins.
1-2 people are fitted for us.

Accommodation
You will have your own accommodation, either a cabin or an apartment, depending on when you are planning to stay. You will have your own bedroom, kitchen, and living room. The bathroom may need to be shared, depending on whether you get a cabin or an apartment.
What else ...
Maybe you could come with us to our mountain cabin and help out with the kids and other tasks. I can’t promise this yet, but I wanted to mention the possibility.
We are an outdoorsy family, and would love it if you are too. But it is not a requirement. This will be more fitted to someone that will stay for a longer periode. If someone would like to stay for months or a year, this may be possible.
