  Description

  Hi,
  
  Edit: From around mid June 2024 we are looking for a workawayer that would like to come and houssit our house while we will be away on vacation.
  We prefer if you can stay for at least 6-8 weeks, from the end of June, to the beginning of August. But if you only can do half that time, we can perhaps find such a solution too.
  
  During this month we need help with watering plants in and outside the house. We also have chickens and a cat that will need food and water. The chicken house will need cleaning once a week also. And there will be some work around the house as well, but not any loads. We think that it won't be more than 10-15 hours of work per week.
  
  
  If you are a student at Gothenburg University this could be an opertunity for you. If you have experience from waitering in restaurants we can show you where some of our previous workawayers have found jobs in Gothenburg (requiers a working viza).
  
  Presentation:
  
  We live in a family house situated 25 km and minutes outside of Gothenburg. We are a family of two adults and two children, some chickens and a lazy cat. ;-)
  
  We have a garden where we summertime grow some vegstables, for ie potatoes, cucumber, broccoli and sallad.
  
  We would like help with some harvesting and gardening work, but mainly with household work, cooking, cleaning and help around the children for ie accomompany them while playing outdoors, or with writing and reading practice. Also if you have a drivers license we could use some help with taking them to some of their activities.
  
  We can offer you your own bedroom furnished with a bed, desk and a bureau to keep your clothes in. Our house has five bedrooms and our family uses three on the first floor. On the first floor there is also one bathroom (a second bathroom with sauna in the basement), a kitchen and a living room. On the second floor we have two bedrooms and one more living room.
  
  From our house you have a 10 minute walk to the train station from where you can catch the train to Gothenburg or Alingsås when you like.
  
  Next to the train station there is also a lovely lake. It takes aprox 1 hour to walk around the lake. And on the other side of the lake there is a castle with wonderful surroundings, horses, boats, fishing etc.
  
  Unfortunately we don't accept smokers due to allergies. And because of the same reason we also don't want you to wear any perfumes.
  
  Also good to know is that we try to live life with a smallest possible carbon footprint. Greta Thunberg makes us proud of being Swedes. Google her! :) That means we no longer use Aircraft and would be thrilled if you can consider traveling to Sweden also without Aircraft. Within Europe travel with train and buses are real easy. Google InterRail and Flixbus for example. :)
  
  Our internet access is fine, but sometimes it takes me a while to answer your emails due to that I want to speak with my husband about them before I answer, and we don't see eachother so often because we sometimes both work odd hours.

  Espace pour garer des vans

  In Nybro there is space for a campervan. In Floda we wouldn't have space for it in our garden, but the street has parking free of charge. So that is an option.
