Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We would need help with taking care of normal household choirs like cleaning, washing, window cleaning, making dinner etc.
Also homework reading with the kids and driving the kids to different training sessions can be part of the things we need help with.
Some days will be more to do and some almost nothing so you have to be adaptable.
If you have any questions let us know.
