Help with household, moving and pet sitting in Helsinki, Finland

The experience

*** I had after surgery complications and was hospitalized again, so I couldn’t reply to applications promptly for a while.

I need help especially with preparing to move and also some household tasks. I am currently recovering from a surgery so help in chores that demand physical strain is needed. In the end of January the help evolves mainly around moving.

Program Details

My guest will be offered a place to stay and will be able to also meet new people from my social network if they wish so. I am interested in foreign languages and speak fluently Finnish, Swedish, German, English and Turkish. If you are interested in practising one of these languages I am glad to help :) I have two cats so I hope you are an animal lover. I enjoy reading, nature, playing board games / chess / cards. If we have common interests we can spend time together doing things we both enjoy.

I have a workawayer profile:

and have been doing volunteer work in Turkey so I have experience of going and staying with hosts. Since I’ve enjoyed it a lot and met great people that way I want to start hosting as well. Also I have a need for help and I think this is a great way of gaining mutual joy and benefit.
