Brief profile of the Host Family
We're a single parent family with two active kids. Ludvig will be 4 years in August and loves kindergarden, playing outside and snuggling. Ingeborg will turn 2 years in August, and tries to take after her brother in everything, wanting to climb higher, run faster and yell louder than him. We're in the middle of a big change in our family, as we recently moved from the south of Norway to Trondheim where Mom- Ingrid- is from originally. We're going to move into our house in July, and hopefully the kids will get a new kindergarden near by. Right now we're staying with the grandparents. I work as a doctor in the Hospital, which means that I'm sometimes at duty in the evenings and even in the nights. I need someone to watch after the children on those occasions. We haven't travelled much lately, but we sometimes go up to our cabin in the mountains. And it's not impossible we'll travel more than that, but it's not guaranteed either.
