Description
Hi!
Help is needed feeding and cleaning dogs, training with huskies (at autumn and winter time), helping with clients (at winter time), and taking care of the kids (usually play or sports with them). You take also part of housework like cooking or gardening (at summer).
Living in the caravan, but you can use our house too. No smoking or drugs. No vegan, because we want use dairy products, honey and eggs for cooking. Vegetarian is fine. Minimum time should be 6 weeks, two months is very nice.
Please notice:
- You will live with the Finnish family, with Finnish style, food and culture
- First lesson on Finnish culture: 1. we say what we think and we KEEP what we promise!, 2. being silent is part of the culture, we don't talk all the time, but we are ready to discuss when there is something interesting or important, 3. we would rather be too early than late, if you are late, you should tell about it, 4. HUMOR is the part of the life that we can work 10 hours in -30 degrees Celsius, or that can guide children to do what adults want, 5. we have so much peace and quiet and time to be alone here that you should know how to be with youself, that's really important here 6. you can learn more here, warmly welcome :)
- You work will depend on the time of year you are here!
- This is family life
- Because many animals and kids our situation often changes, we can't give to do -list one month before to you, you need to be flexible here
- Muonio is small place (population 2400)
- Muonio is far away from the Middle Europe, you need time and money to travel here
- Usually two days off every week, if you work harder, you will get holiday, so you can go to visit other places, like cities in Lapland, Sweden and Norway
Please ask more! Welcome to be a part of our family!
Liisa and the family
