Description
I'm Salla (28). I have (one😄) husband and two daughters (8 and 1) and one American Hairless Terrier 🐶

We live in Lapland; a small village called Pello. Pello is a peaceful village, ~3300 inhabitants live here. We live in a detached house by the river. We are a mobile and social family. We visit the village, with friends and family. And we have guests sometimes. There are also hobbies.

I am social and talk a lot. But it's okay, I might be a little quiet at first because I don't speak English very well. 😄 I like brisk and active people. I hope you are like that. I am a "fun" and loving mother and wife. We joke a lot. My hobbies are the gym, the fire department and snowmobiling.

Our older daughter is really sweet. She is also sociable and has a good sense of humor. She has come to her mother. 🤭 She is in the second grade at school. She likes crafts and art a lot. Various tests, e.g. water is also interesting. We play Playstation and in the winter we go down hill skiing together.

The younger daughter is a really happy and funny case. But as with age, she might get nervous if something doesn't work out 😄 As a rule, she is satisfied when her stomach is full and she has slept well.

There is a dog allergy in our family, so we have a hairless dog that we tolerate well. Cindy is energetic and cheerful. She is involved in everything and I count her as one of my children.

My husband also enjoys snowmobiling in the winter. We are relaxed and like to party sometimes. I also like rules. Our daughter's have boundaries and is polite. I like to keep the house clean.

I am a paramedic and I always work 24 hours a day, after that I have two days off. My husband has his own business and sometimes he spends weeks away from home, so the girls and I spend a lot of time together.

We have a sauna! Indoors and also outdoors. Nature is beautiful all year round. In winter there is a lot of snow and if you are lucky you can see the northern lights. Summer nights are bright and autumn has a beautiful fall (I don't know if there is an English name for it. but the leaves and trees get a beautiful autumn color = Finnish name is 'ruska'). You can learn Finnish, get to know Finnish nature and see Finnish animals.
Aide
I hope you are self-starter and brisk. I can't tell you the exact work task yet. But, for example, ordinary housework belongs to everyone in our family; garbage export and general cleanliness, etc. Outdoor work; mowing and raking the grass in the summer, snow work in the winter. Possibly also driving girls to school and hobbies.

We dont speak english very well. I'm ashamed when i write this i have to resort to a translator..😳 So it would be time to learn and dare to speak english and everyday language i will definitely learn more. Also our daughter is at a good age to learn a little bit other language.

Because we have a desire to learn English, I hope you take this into account, for example, when you play with our daughter. Use English words, and you can also learn Finnish yourself.

We are looking for:
Fun, lively and social person. I hope you are outgoing and talkative and spontaneous/unprompted/initiative. (I don't know what the real english name is, but I mean you can start doing things yourself and I don't always have to command you 😄)

You know how to do normal homework; fill and empty the dishwasher, do the dishes, take out the trash, clean the table, hoover (we also have a robothoover) etc.

Don't bother contacting us if you are;
Very shy and you like spend lot of your time alone. You can't do homework and you can't play with a child.

I want you to play with our kids because you WANT to play, not because you HAVE to play.
If you are not ready for one then you can skip our profile directly.
