Description
Sheep farm in the middle of the mountains next to Hardangervidda.
Single mom raising two young kids( a boy and a girl)
We live a healthy lifestyle with good, nutritious food and outdoor activities.
In our daily life I need help with household and to spend time with the kids.
!FOR THE MONTH OF MAY! (lambing season ) I need someone to look after the kids while I am with the animals. Both morning and afternoon and some nights.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Language practice
Babysitting and creative play
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live just next to Hardangervidda, a plateau made for scenic hikes in summer and XC skiing in winter.
Lots of other outdoor activities throughout the year
Winter season is from October/November through April. Summer from June/July through August/September
The sheepfarm is a small farm, but if workawayer is interested, they will come to learn about this type of farming. Work hours in itself is not necessary. In May we have lambing season and it is a hectic, but also joyful time. From June all the sheep are out in the fields and in the mountains and we spend time hiking around, to check the animals, wich also gives a great opportunity to see the beautiful nature that we have around us.
The village is working on including everyone, so there are activities to be part of, to get to know other people. (yoga, and sometimes a cafe for the local people).
The village called Geilo is just 15 minutes away and offers lots of different experiences, such as outdoor/nature activities both summer and winter, cinema, cafes, pubs and restaurants and cultural/educational walks in the area.

Help
Help out around the house and play with the kids!
I need a person to help out with daily tasks like house cleaning, laundry and tidying.
Sometimes also night time "baby sitting" so mom can go out for a walk, dinner or meetings.
The kids are in daycare between 9am and 3.pm, so there will be plenty of free time to explore.
