  Description

  Hej! We are a family of four who would like some help from a Swedish Workawayer at our home in Christchurch. I (the mum) am originally from Sweden but have lived here for 9 years. Archie the dad is from Queenstown and works at Hillmorton hospital. Our two boys, 3 and 5 years old, are at preschool 3-4 days a week.
  
  Our house is located right next to a reserve with wetlands if you like to go for a run or walks. There are buses going on the main road, and you'll be in the city center within 20 minutes. There are supermarkets, cafés, gym etc. walking distance away from our house. We have plenty of parking space if you have your own car.
  There is a bedroom inside the house that would be yours. You'll have your own shower but sharing bathroom with the boys. We will provide breakfast and dinner but ask that you provide your own lunch and snacks.
  
  We like to travel a lot, and going on various adventures. You'd be able to come with either with us or doing your own thing. We are super flexible with hours and you can essentially set those yourself. One day you might work in the garden for 4 hours, but then have the whole weekend off. If you want to use us as your base while you explore the south island, we are open to that.
  
  Get in touch if you are interested!
  Malin, Archie, Viggo and Otis.

  Help

  Maximum 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. Very flexible and you can most likely set your own hours. We could work around your schedule if you have a part time job, or if you want to go travel for a while, that is also ok.
  
  We mostly need help with gardening, looking after our boys and cleaning, but also other small jobs that need to be done. My husband or I will be there to help and guide you in the beginning until you feel confident to be on your own. If you like to cook, it would be lovely if you would like to help a couple of evenings per week. No previous experience is needed. Our only wish is that you are Swedish and that you speak Swedish with the children.
