Description
We are a family of four. Dad (35y), mom (32y), two girls (3y and 1y). We live in Garðabær, in the capital area.
Dad works as a software engineer and mom as a manufacturing engineer.
We are looking for a highly optimistic (happy) person (female), who is at least 18 years old, loves children and would like to be a part of our family. This person must be good with kids, genuinely into family life, and understands family dynamics (the highs and lows). We are looking for someone with a positive attitude.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Babysitting and creative play
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travelers will get an insight into a traditional Icelandic household. Dad loves to cook so there might be something there to pick up. Raw nature is all around us, just a few steps away. We are always open to teach about Icelandic culture and even travel inside Iceland.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We are looking for help with our two girls and tasks around the house.
We will need help with the younger girl during the day as she is not in kindergarten yet. 4-5
days a week we will be needing help to babysit while we are at work.
We would also like some help around the house. For example while she is sleeping during the day.

- a female
- at least 18 years old
- happy in spirit
- active
- adaptable
- flexible
- open-minded
- genuine and authentic
- likes cooking
- likes chores

Accommodation
You will have your own room in our home, which is spacious and bright, with good WiFi access. The room has a 140cm size bed. You
will share the living room and bathroom with us.
You will also be welcome (and encouraged) to eat with us during meal times.
What else ...
We like to have someone that would live in the house. Our family and friends will probably be frequent visitors. We hope to find someone who likes to be around people and is open minded.
Our house is surrounded by nature and there is beautiful lake close by.
Still we are only 7 min drive from the capital, Reykjavík.
There is public transport from our neighborhood to the city center.
Once in a while we like to go out on a date and that would require watching the kids.
