Description
Hello we have a 7 year old daughter who needs babysitting few times a week usually sometimes more but not so many hours per day. We live in east Iceland in a small beautiful town named Egilsstaðir around 2000 people. She needs babysitting from morning and nights few times a week. She's very open minded and full of joy and spirit. We also need help with house chores everyday.
My name is Makkalitta 43 and my husband name is Guðjón 37 . Our daughter name is Karítas 7 and Natalia 15 who live at home , other two are grown up and moved out. Natalia loves drawing and painting and is very talented and very artistic. Karítas is on other hand full of joy and happiness and loves to meet new people. she´s very open minded ( probably part of ADHD diagnosed she has :) ! ) and is a free spirit who loves new things to do every day.
We need someone to help around the house some days of the week and sometimes every other weekend and babysit over the summer time and some nights and on some weekend and do some help around the house. Not many hours a day thou :)
we´re going to work in shifts during the summer and every other weekend. I will be working from 6 to 11 hours shift and my husband 12 hours shifts for ten days and then 4 days off.... Sometimes me the mother has to go on a call with my search and rescue team.
We have a big home full of joy and happiness, and we love to fool around and keep the baby in us ;)
We need someone who is responsible for taking care of house daily chores and taking care of creative kids.
On my days off and my husbands day off I like to go hiking which you could go with me too :) I also work at a home for disabled people in shifts. We have a big home and welcome you to be a part of the family 👪 It´s very important for us that you feel part of the family 👪
The person would have access to the car everyday if they prefer to:)

I'm looking for babysitting and watch a 7 year old girl who is full of adventures and full of joy. She can be a handfull for someone but for the right person she´ll be the funniest one ! She´s very opened minded and full of happiness. We also need help around the house everyday and be there for Karítas the 7 year old girl.
Wouldn't have to buy any food, we provide that for the whole stay and also take care of every snacks during the day and also when we go out for eat. The workawayer is going to take care of house chores since the lady of the house is doing full university and working in shifts. The workawayer is also going to wake up with the girls to after summer break and get them to school.Languages

I loved living in her beautiful, elegant home! Ahh yes, not to forget, we also looked at the northern lights together!
She and her husband have taken more than full care of their workawayers! I've never lacked for anything!
Natalia was very easy going and so friendly!
