Description
Looking for someone who want to look after our family home from 17th of July until August 14th.
It’s possible to come earlier/ leave later then the dates we need covered :)
We are looking for a workawayer/ couple who want to take care of our home this summer (we will be traveling). Our home is in a quiet and friendly street, and have a lovely garden with an amazing sea view. Perfect for both relaxation and hiking :)
“We” are a family of seven + our cats 😃 previously we run a catery, and therefore have more cats than a usual family :D
We live in a small village outside of Stavanger, Norway - close to the Pulpit rock and many other fabulous areas for hiking - so it's a perfect spot for nature lovers and active people.
Tasks will mainly be to take care of our cats, watering plants in the garden and manage air bnb rental of a separate apartment in our house.
You will not reach the “5 hours a day limit”, and therefore have a lot of spare time :)Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre

The seasons control what to do in Stavanger. Stavanger has a maritime climate, with cool summers and mild winters. Summers features periods of warm and nice weather, although they sometimes can be rainy. Winters usually mean more rain than snow in Stavanger, although going into the mountains will ensure snow.
Hiking and climbing around Stavanger is the best way to see the fantastic landscape. Many of the trails have been marked out by the Turistforetning with rocks bearing a red "T". Turistforening hyttes (cabins) provide simple accommodation in the mountains. Also mountain bikes can be hired and taken on the trails. The Pulpit Rock is accessible throughout the year for day trips, while the road to Kjerag is closed during winter.
Solastranden (Sola Beach) is a long sandy beach by the airport. It is very popular in the summer and allows for some small waves for surfing. Along the beach, in the dunes, are the remains of defences from the 1940-45 occupation. Other less populated beaches are all along the coastline although they are sometimes hard to find.
Ice skating on Stokkavannet - In the depths of winter the government tests the ice on its lakes. Once the official word is given many Norwegians will head for the largest lake, Stokkavannet. The lake itself is located near to Madla about 20 minutes bus ride outside of Stavanger.
Should the ice not be safe, and you have a compulsion to skate, another option is the newly built full size indoor long track speed skating arena Sørmarka Arena. There are also several ice hockey rinks at Tjensvoll, ten minutes by bus from the city centre.Informations complémentaires
