  We are a family of 5 living in a beautiful town named Akureyri, the capital of the north of Iceland. We are looking for a Workawayer. Our family consists of myself Helga (39), husband Bjarki (43), Bergsteinn (3) and Hulda and Ingi (9 months old). We need to start working as soon as possible so we need help with the kids, they will have some daycare but we need help at home. We would like someone that speaks English. Loves kids and wants to spend time with them as much as possible and can take care of household and be able and want to cook sometimes and paint two rooms!
  We will treat our Workawayer like one of the family. The home is not very silent, the children are loud and young and love to play :)
