    Description

    Hey!
    We are looking for a helping hand for our family :): We are a German-Icelandic family with three children. My name is Janina and I work as a nursery school teacher :).
    Snædís is eight years old, Snæþór will be seven in December and Snævar is one year old.
    The older children speak both Icelandic and German. The little one is also being raised bilingually :).
    My husband works in Reykjavík.
    We live in Þorlákshöfn, a village 40 minutes by car from Reykjavík :).
    It is also important to mention that I breed Norwegian Forest Cats and we currently have nine cats at home.

    You will see beautiful nature here and experience a completely different way of life :). After a 9-week au pair stay, I was so enthusiastic about Iceland that I ended up emigrating there a year later.
