  Description

  We are a family living a couple of km outside Jokkmokk at the Luleå River. We have 3 kids and some rabbits.
  The kids are Vidar 12, Clava 9 and Alve 8 years old. The nature is all around us, the riverbed is just 60m from the main building. The forest starts 100 m from the house. Our interest are outdoor activities, at least it was before the kids... We have lot of machinery and equipment and projects in and outside the house. Therefore we should need some help. Of course we have a genuine interest of meeting new people.
  
  Helping out with general household chores. Joining as an extra hand and company in our daily life.
  You need to have experience in taking care of kids, be self-going/motivated and like nature in remote areas.
  
  The daily help we need might include:
  Cooking.
  Washing up afterwards.
  Watch and participate in our kids play inside or outside.
  Clearing up and cleaning up the house.
  Maybe working on a specific project.
  
  
  Be our company in our daily life, doing small walks, meeting friends etc.
  
  Some days there will be more to do and some less!
