  We would like help with this:
  - Help us enteratin our daughter when we are doing chores around the house. She likes to read books, paint, play with toys and be outside.
  - Some days leave or pick up our daughter from preschool (a 10 minute walk).
  - Walk our dog.
  - Help with chores around the house, like cleaning and cooking.
  - Shoveling snow in the winter or cut the grass in the summer.
  
  The most important thing is that you are good with kids and we only welcome non-smokers.
  
  What we think a typical day for you could be like for you:
  - Wake up at 7 and start the day with helping us with our daughter with breakfast and taking her to preschool around 8/9.
  - Take our dog for a short walk
  - Almost every day household chores like for example laundry, folding laundry and dishwasher.
  - Some days you can prepare dinner, vacuum clean, cut the grass or shovel snow.
  - Around/before lunchtime you are done with work and can enjoy Skellefteå or just relax. We will come home from work usually around 16/17. After that we will have dinner together, and maybe do something fun like visit a frind of ours, see Skellefteå city, visit the nature or enjoy a board game together.
  
  Or the day could look lite this:
  - Free time until 15, walk our dog and after that pick up our daughter from preschool.
  - When you come home you will serve her a snack and then play together.
  - We come home and cook a meal while you play and entertain our daughter.
  - Help with the dishes and clean the table after dinner.
  - You can do some household chores while we put our daughter to bed.
  - Around 19/20 you are done with work.
  
  We are very flexible with the things you could help us with if you have any special skills like gardening, building projects, painting the house or something else :)
