Description
Hello from Iceland
We are a small family in Hafnarfjörður Reykjavik and have two children 8 years and 17 years old. Since my husband goes on business trips from time to time, I welcome help to bring the little one to school / to pick him up. I would also need help keeping the house clean among other stuff that needs to be done. We also need help with all kind of maintenance.
Even better if you know how to build a gifs wall 😀 but no must though.
Over the summertime we mostly need help driving the little one arround and keeping him occupaid since school is closed over a longer period of time. We would love to have someone staying with us from may until mid august if possible for the summer
In the fall (october-december) we mainly need help for halloween and christmas decorating the house.
We are speaking German and Icelandic at home so if you speak German that would make the communication with the kids easier 😃
We look forward to hearing from you
best regards Jessi and family

Accommodation and food
Reykjavík's old town is small and easy to walk around. The houses have some very distinct features, most notably their brightly colored corrugated metal siding. Plan to spend at least a couple hours just wandering around, taking in the city. And for further feasts of the eyes, there are several museums and art galleries in the city, most of them within easy reach of the downtown area.
