Daniel and Maria are the preschool teacher and assistant nurse who left southern Sweden for jobs in the north. With their three children, they now live in one of Boden\u2019s newly built rental properties and love it. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

\u201cNow we\u2019re just wondering why we didn\u2019t move to Boden earlier,\u201d says Maria with a big smile.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

Over the spring, the Finsberg family gradually moved into their new home in Boden. Daniel, who got a job as a preschool teacher at R\u00f6rviken Preschool in Boden, moved up first while Maria looked for work and they began preparing for the whole family\u2019s move. During the spring they got an apartment in Bodenbo\u2019s newly built building on Brogatan in Boden, where they now live with the children Alwar, 6, and Lawa, 4. When we visited, big brother Algot, 9, hadn\u2019t arrived yet, but was on his way up with Grandma and Grandpa. <\/p>\n\n

A JOB FAST<\/h3>\n\n

Maria, who is trained as an assistant nurse, quickly got a job in home care in the Municipality of Boden and didn\u2019t even have time to unpack the moving boxes before she started work. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe really like Boden and the friendly people here. It feels like everyone helps each other out. I\u2019ve had a really great welcome from both managers and colleagues. I also think the attitude in healthcare is much better here than what I\u2019ve experienced before.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

Maria describes how she\u2019s been welcomed with open arms, feels needed, and that there\u2019s a spirit in the home care service where she works to make it possible\u2014through structured work\u2014to spend more time with the elderly and provide higher quality. <\/p>\n\n

PROXIMITY LIFE <\/h3>\n\n

Neither of them drives, but both live close to work. Maria also cycles in her home care job, where she\u2019s part of the central team. <\/p>\n\n

Daniel, meanwhile, quickly settled into his job as a preschool teacher and has also picked up his interest in photography. He posted a question in a local Facebook group asking if there were others interested in photography and was immediately welcomed into Boden\u2019s photo club, where he has now become a member. He has also photographed both people and places around Boden and started collaborations and photo assignments. <\/p>\n\n

GOOD FOR THE KIDS<\/h3>\n\n

Since the family has children with special needs, it\u2019s especially important that their school and childcare work well. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s worked really well! I\u2019m almost shocked at how engaged the school is. They ask questions and keep us informed, and we\u2019ve had a very good impression. There\u2019s even an autism class here.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

The family has also found a favourite playground in central Boden. By the rental building where they live, there\u2019s also a nice outdoor environment. They\u2019re very happy, but are looking for a bigger apartment and, in the long run, their own house. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cBut we\u2019re not leaving Boden!\u201d <\/p>\n\n
