Description
Hi!
We are an easygoing, musical and sporty family of four. I am a school teacher, my husband is an engineer and our kids are funny and independent 9 and 11 years old boy and girl.
We have two cute little dogs and a lovely house with garden! Our home is only 10 minute car drive from Tampere City center, but still right next to forests, lakes and interesting tracks to explore!
We need help with our basement renovation and generally extra hands around the house with gardening, cleaning, cooking, taking care of the dogs etc
We hope that you are quite independent and effective while working. Even though most of the chores are light and easy, we hope you are able to plan your work and get them done fluently.
We offer you a private room, shared bathroom and shower, bike to get around, WiFi, breakfast and dinner with us and welcome you to share our home and daily life and at the same time a great possibility to get to know Finland!
We would love to hear more from you!
