  Descripción

  Right now we're looking for someone who likes to do heavy tasks and wants to stay for 7 to 10 days in April or May. We've cut down 5 big pine-trees and need help with chopping and stacking the firewood.
  
  We're a lively, talkative and socially outgoing family with lots of activities and 'balls in the air' all the time. :-D
  Our family consists of 2 adults, Kerstin & Tomas, and 4 children (a girl born in July 2009, a girl born in February 2021 and twins, a girl and a boy, born in March 2024). We usually have lots of ongoing DIY projects and during spring and summer we also do vegetable gardening. Tomas, the father of the three youngest kids is around to help out when he doesn't work and isn't away on other things.
  Kerstin is very alternative and is very inspired by how indigenous people live and raise their kids, she's also very passionate about becoming as self-sufficient as possible, especially with food. Tomas is more ordinary and like to have more of a "normal" life.
  
  We're located in a log house in the beautiful countryside just outside of the town Järna, 40 min by car South of Stockholm. The walking trail "Sörmlandsleden" is very close to our house, and there are lots of lakes within car- or bikingdistance. Our house is 10 min from the highway E4.
  
  We like to get up early and the three little ones usually wake up between 6-7am, Tomas gets up around 5am for work.
  The 4 year old goes to kindergarden between 8am to 3:30pm Mond - Fri (all year around except on holidays and throughout July when the kindergarden is closed) and our 15 year old goes to school at 7:30 am and is picked up again between 2:45-3:45pm.
  We usually go to bed very early, around 8-10pm since the kids and Tomas wake up early in the morning.
  
  Kerstin is right now a stay at home mother with the twins.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We're a lively, talkative, active and socially outgoing family who likes to hang out with the kids and other adults. We like to do DIY/self sufficiency things but also to go on daytrips when we have time (it's quite busy right now with 3 small kids). We really enjoy workaway'ers who want to integrate with our family but at the same time a lot of our time right now goes to the small kids so we don't have as much time to give to the workaway'er like we usually do. We do enjoy if the workaway'er wants to hang out with the kids but it's not part of the work help that we're looking for right now.
  
  There's a lot to see near where we live, a lot of beautiful nature and lakes/the Baltic Sea if you have your own car or like to walk/bike. We have bikes to lend out. It's an antroposofic Mekka with Waldorf schools, architecture and gardening for ex.
  There is quite a rich wildlife not too far away if you go by car, where you can get to see deer, moose and wild boar if you're lucky. Stockholm is of course also pretty close by.
  We can help you find things to do while youre here depending on what you're interested in!
  
  Also, you will get to know a little bit about how it is in a Swedish family. :-)

  Right now we're looking for someone who likes to do heavy tasks and wants to stay for about 7 to 10 days in April or May.
  We have cut down 5 big pine trees so we need help with chopping and stacking the firewood. We have a wood splitter (machine) but sometimes you need to chop by hand as well if the log doesn't split with the machine. Some of the logs (the ones on the bottom of the trees) are quite heavy.
  We do really enjoy getting our own firewood but right now Tomas works a lot and Kerstin has a sore/weak pelvis (after the twin-pregnancy) so she can't lift very much and the kids take up a lot of time so we would be very grateful to get help with the firewood.
  If there is time and energy left over there are also some other small projects that we need help with like for example getting sand for the children's sand box, taking the branches from the fallen trees to the recycling station, filling in a ditch that we dug for a waterpipe etc etc.
  
  We really like to interact with our workaway'er as much as possible but the workaway'er also needs to be a bit self-going since we don't have so much time to interact right now. Especially when the twins are sleeping for 2h in the morning and 2h in the afternoon the house needs to be quiet so Kerstin can relax since she often doesn't sleep so well during the night because of the kids waking up.

  Alojamiento

  We have a guest cabin for the workaway'er.
  There is internet and we have movie channels in the cabin that the workaway'er can use in the free time.
  We provide sheets, blankets and towel.
  
  We usually go to bed around 8-10pm since Tomas and the kids wake up early and since the house is very hearthrough we expect the workaway'er to not use the house after we go to bed.
  
  We provide food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, usually something with meat, chicken or fish, but if you want some special stuff for example candy, tea, cookies, fruit etc etc you need to provide that for yourself.
  
  Usually we eat breakfast around 7:30-8, lunch around 12 noon - 1pm, dinner around 5-6pm.
  
  Since we eat meat/fish/chicken at pretty much every meal we need the workaway'er to be able to eat the same as us. We have noticed that it's too complicated for us with someone who's vegetarian or vegan.

  Algo más...

  In the time off you're free to travel around or do whatever you want. We don't have a car to loan out but we have bikes and we can give a ride to the nearest trainstation, that's 5km away in Järna. We try to give a ride at the same time as we're already going somewhere with the car to not have to make an extra trip unless it's necessary.
  We live 40 min by car south of Stockholm or about 1h by train.
  
  We don't provide food on the days/half days you have time off so then you need to take care of your own food!
  We provide food for meals but if you want to eat something special (like candy or some special fruit or dietary needs) you need to provide that for yourself.
  
  We don't accept people being drunk or using drugs while staying with us.
  
  We want non-smokers since we're a smoke-free home!
  
  We also expect you to help with house tasks like cleaning, helping with dishes after every meal, cooking for everyone at times as well as cleaning up after yourself before you depart.
  
  We hope you will have fun and enjoy your time with us!!
