  Description

  HELLO!
  We are looking for new workawayers again!
  READ the whole announcement before you contact us 🙏😊
  We are looking for a a girl to take care of kids and home.
  We are an international family - my husband is Norwegian and I'm Lithuanian.
  My husband works with in health sector and I'm running a summer based coffee shop at home.
  I'm typical Lithuanian, he's typical Norwegian and together we're quite a crazy mix :)
  We have 6 kids and two cats and a piglet.
  We live in a beautiful country side in Lunde, 5 km away from the dow town, shops and bus/train stations.
  Lunde is an spectacular place right at the heart of Telemark and it's amazing channel. So it's definitely perfect for a nature lovers. Bigger towns around offer some other opportunities as well as Lunde - like finding a seasonal or temporary job. (Bø is a student place, with some bars and café around, and a university there, Skien is 45 km away - bigger place, shopping centres and more action.)
  Summertime is loaded with tourists around and winter is perfect for winter sports in this area.
  The one willing to come here must be aware of staying long away from city and it's noise - the life here goes pretty slowly and the bus passes by only 2-3 times a day.
  So if you are in love with spectacular nature and mountains - this place is just perfect for you -
  a runaway from big city stress.
  
  
  P.S. WE DO NOT HELP WITH VISA and we DO NOT pay pocket money.
  
  P.S.S. Baby sitting and housework is extremely hard jobb 🙂
  
  Best wishes,
  
  Ruta & Halvor
  & Co.

  Help

  Help with childcare and house chores. We might ask to deliver or to pick up kids sometimes so it's great to have a driving licence.
  We expect our workaway to know how to do simple house chores- dust, wash the floor, change bed sheets, do the dishes, plan meals and cook.
  Also we'd prefer a person who's not afraid to take initiative, is tidy and structured.
  P.S. I would be extremely happy if we could find some Lithuanian girls- I would love my kids to hear more Lithuanian and to learn more Lithuanian.
