Description
Hello, I am a single mom of 2 children. Girl 9 years old an a boy 4 years old. Need help with children and household.
1. Wake up in the morning with me and help me get kids to school and kindergarten. My girl just walks to school with her friends and I usually take my boy myself to kindergarten.
2. When I am off to work and the kids to school and kindergarten I need help with clean after breakfast and dity up rooms. Once a week (usually Mondays) dust, clean floors, change bedsheet. If the apartment needs cleaning then this may take 2-3 hours and if not then about 1 hour. Help with laundry
3. Then I need help again around ca. 4.30, pick up my boy from kindergarten ( 3 min walk from the apartment). Play with him until I come home
4. Usually make dinner, and cleans up after dinner. While I make my girl study and then myself get the kids to bed. So the person is off ca 7.30 pm
5. The person would also help if one of the kids has a day off school or the kid is sick and has to stay home.
Babysit once in a while if I go out in the evening but most evenings I am just at home
6. Then every other weekend some help from the person
7. Because I am single parent the days off for the person would be when the kids are with their father which is from Wednesday to Monday every other week
Helping from 8 to 10 am and again 4.30 to 7.30 pm
Types of help and learning opportunities
Babysitting and creative play
Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Every other week the person is off from Wednesday to Monday and therefore has a change to travel around the country.
Me and my children have had au pairs from other countries before so we are experienced in having another person living in our home. We are very opened minded family and like getting to know more people and different cultures. We have always welcomed our home and willing to let other person to be part of the family.
I am also very opened about helping and assisting the person to get know Iceland
