  Descrição

  My husband is Canadian and this summer we are going to visit family in Canada for 3 weeks (July 27 - Aug 17) and we are looking for someone that would like to enjoy and look after our beautiful home while we are away. If you like gardening or outdoor activities there are endless opportunities at our place!
  
  I live with my family in an old house with a big graden in the outskirts of Falun, Sweden. I work as an engineer and my husband works with historical farming and outdoor education. We have four kids in the ages 4-14. Life is very busy with 4 kids and all their activities plus a big garden and several buildings to take care of. Me and my husband likes gardening and outdoor activities such as canoeing, sailing, hiking, climbing.
  
  Our house is about 3 km from the center of the town Falun with enable us to bike anywhere in town. Yet it feels a bit rural with pasture and forest behind the house and a garden big enough to have bees, let our chickens go loose in the yard and cut some hay for the rabbits that we share with our neighbor.
  
  It is a small dam where we go swimming (off the road) very close to the house as well as a nice lake 1 km away.
  The house is extra suitable for someone that will enjoy our garden or kids families since we have toys, trampoline etc.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  We have very nice neighbors (who usually look after our house) and it is likely you can ask them for advice when you choose day trips etc.
  
  Falun is a world heritage well known for its copper mine with is only a couple of kilometers away. Our hose itself has a long history since it was built in the 1600 and there are paths with historical information in the area.
  In the region of Dalarna there are many more tourist attraction such as the lake Siljan, the museum Zorn and Carl Larsson.

  Ajuda

  We would like help to water plants a couple of times a week and feed chickens a couple of times a day. Rabbits need to be checked on once a day. There is no exact time to look after animals so it is possible to do long day trips.
  
  We have a yard with many berries bushes and fruit trees. If wanted it is possible to do garden work and pick some of the things in the garden but it is not required.
