Description
I am a university teacher who lives in Lund, Sweden, and I am 59 years old. I live in a pleasant house with a small garden, together with my two cats. My two sons, aged 36 and 34, their partners and young children, as well as their younger sister, who is 25, also live and work nearby. My brother and sister, along with their families, also live in Lund. We frequently gather at my place, so although I live alone, I am part of a relatively large family that a Workawayer will probably meet from time to time.
Originally, I am from Uruguay, but I grew up in Sweden. I am fluent in Swedish, Spanish and English, and I have a basic understanding of Portuguese, Italian, French, Danish and Norwegian.
At my house, there is a guest room available, and I can provide a bicycle for exploring the beautiful city of Lund and its surroundings, as cycling is very common here. I thoroughly enjoy cooking and introducing people to new social and cultural activities.
I work at Lund University, along with other professional activities. Sometimes, it becomes challenging to find enough time to take care of the house and garden and complete old projects.
Therefore, I would greatly appreciate some assistance with everyday chores, the garden, organising my home office and decorating other spaces in the house.
For shorter stays of 4–5 days, there is an opportunity to assist with temporary tasks such as washing my car, cleaning windows, ironing or helping out with the garden. For longer stays of 5–10 days, there will be more time to work on the house, garden and other projects.
One additional thing I would particularly appreciate help with, regardless of the length of the stay, is scanning old photos and organising my albums, both digital and physical photo albums.
It is important to me that you have good housekeeping skills and are used to working independently. I will not always be around during your working hours.
Please note that I am specifically looking for a non-smoker who is willing to eat vegan/vegetarian food and willing to be completely perfume- and fragrance-free during their stay. This includes perfume, deodorant, lotion, hair products, etc.
The length of stay can range from 4 to 10 days

There are two bathrooms in the house, and one of them will be exclusively for your use. WiFi, a washing machine, and a dryer are also available.

The kitchen is spacious, and I will handle the grocery shopping, usually once a week.

You will be responsible for preparing your own breakfast and lunch.
I will prepare dinner and strive to coordinate our activities to allow us to have dinner together at least 2-3 times per week. -
