  Description

  In Pandrup, Denmark:
  We live in a small town in North Jutland called Pandrup. We are a family of six plus our puppy. I (the mother) am an online student, and since my husband works in Skagen and is often away during the week, I could use some extra hands at home.
  
  Our four children (Adam 9, Malika 6, Noah 3 and Jonah 1) go to school, kindergarten, and nursery, so they have their own busy everyday life with activities and friends. My mother, who overcame cancer this summer, is also often with us. She has her own daily life and works from home, but she is an important part of our family.
  
  We would love help with everyday tasks such as cleaning, laundry, tidying up, deep cleaning, and walking the dog.
  
  Here in Pandrup, you can experience the Danish countryside, enjoy bike rides, explore nearby beaches, and discover local culture. We are open to people from all over the world and look forward to welcoming someone into our home and sharing experiences together.
  
  In Qasigiannguit, Greenland:
  We live in a beautiful small city called Qasigiannguit in Diskobay area in Greenland, theres a little over 1,000 people here in the city. We are a family that renovates old houses/buildings. We could use a little extra hands this summer. We are new as a host, but the two younger members in our family have been workaway’ers in many countries in Europe. We look forward to a speciel summer :-)
  There’s many opportunities here in our city. Hiking, sailing, fishing, whale safaring, camping and much more in this breathtaking beautiful area.

  You will experience the simple and amazing life here in Greenland where we live right in the middle of the spectaculare nature. We are an independent family that have build our own hostels from old normal greenlandic houses. We are good to use recycled things when we renovate. We love to take on adventures too when we have free. To sail, fish and go out to our summerhouse out in the nature. It’ only takes 20-30 minutes to sail to the summerhouse.
  We all speak English and we are a very open welcoming family. Theres alot of activities here in our city and it’s also possible to sail to the neighbour cities which is Ilulissat, Ilimanaq, Aasiaat etc.

  Help

  Help in Pandrup, Denmark:
  
  In Pandrup we would love some extra help in our everyday life. I (the mother) am an online student, and my husband works in Skagen and is often away during the week. Our four children go to school, kindergarten and nursery, so the house is always full of activity.
  
  The main tasks we need help with are household chores such as cleaning, laundry, tidying up, deep cleaning, and walking our puppy. Sometimes a little practical help around the house is also welcome.
  
  My mother, who overcame cancer this summer, often spends time with us as well. She has her own independent work life from home but is a big part of our family atmosphere.
  
  We are a warm and open family and enjoy welcoming people from all over the world into our home.
  
  Greenland: We renovate almost everything ourselves in our houses. We need someone who wants to help with renovation and cleaning the houses too. You will most likely be an extra hand for Laila (my very lovely talented mother). She is indepedent in her work at home and that is where she will need you.
