  Description

  Now we are looking for helping hand starting from May for min. 2weeks but preferably for longer period. For an exchange of room and meals we need help with cleaning work.

  We are also looking for someone to join our family for next winter season 2026-2027. If you like to stay and help us in winter season, give us a message! If you come in winter, we hope you like to ski!
  
  We are a family of four - mum (40), dad (42) and two teenager girls. We are entrepreneurs in a field of tourism.
  We are looking for some help with our household chores and especially we want to practice our language skills. Mostly we are interested in to practice English, but also mum would like refresh her spanish or russian language skills, if one of these are your native languages.
  We are also interested in other cultures, food and habits.
  
  Our lifestyle is busy and our work fullfill our days, but also we spend our free time at home and we like to spend time in the nature and hike in the forests and sometimes we go fishing on the lakes. In wintertime we like to do skiing and snowboarding and snowmobiling.
  We need some helping hand every now and then, for example cleanings, organizing things, paintings, carpenter works, chopping fire wood, help with computers, photographing, etc.If you have skills, you can also help with our dogs. We have 2 alaskas malamutes and 1 small poodle. At least you should like dogs and have some experience about dogs.
