  Description

  Welcome to the Finnish countryside – enjoying peaceful nature and bit more hectic family life 😄
  
  Hello! We are a Finnish family living in the peaceful countryside of Central Finland. We have three children (ages 4, 9 and 11) and are looking for a calm and friendly helper to assist with everyday tasks such as cleaning, cooking, spending time with the kids.
  
  Accommodation is in a cozy lakeside cabin about 100 meters from our home – a perfect place for someone who enjoys nature! The cabin has no electricity or running water, but it offers a peaceful retreat to unwind after the day. The lake next to the cabin is great for swimming and stand-up paddleboarding.
  
  We provide you with daily meals and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The working hours are flexible and can be agreed together.
  
  You’ll also have the chance to explore nearby villages and experience authentic local life in the Finnish countryside. There are bus connections to Jyväskylä (1 hour) and Helsinki (2 hours), so exploring further is easy too.
  
  Help may include, depending on your interests:
  • Household chores (cleaning, cooking, spending time with the children)
  • We’re also open to creative ideas and personal projects!
  
  We hope you are:
  • Open-minded, calm and positive
  • Interested in rural life and nature
  • Experienced with children (a plus, but not required)
  
  If this sounds like a good fit for you, don’t hesitate to reach out – we’d love to hear from you! 😊
