    Description

    My name is Madeleine. I live in the northern part of Sweden, in a small village called Pajala. Pajala is located above the Arctic circle.
    I live with my three kids. A son, 11 years old. And twins (boy and girl), 9 years old.
    The oldest kid has a father and lives with his father every other week. The twins live with me full time and don’t have another parent.
    We also have a cat and a dog. 🐈🐕

    I work at school as resource educator ☺️

    We live in a nice house with lovely neighbors.

    We have a lot to offer here in the northern part of Sweden. Icehotel not far away from Pajala, reindeers, snow, northern lights, snowmobiles, skiing, nature around the corner. And during the summer we have the midnight sun. The sun never sets so it’s bright outside 24/7. ☀️

    Being a single mom I have a lot on my hands. I’d love to get some help with the kids, some household chores like shoveling snow, cook, clean the kitchen, play board games with the kids, walk the dog when I’m at work etc. ☺️
    The twin boy has autism (grade 1, light autism) and adhd so some experience is wanted. Although all the workawayers we’ve had found him to be the ”easiest” one of them all and I agree ☺️
