    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 to night few times a week during the summer,or from June to August but shes at shool until beginning of June. She's very open minded and full of joy and spirit. We also need help with house chores everyday.

    We are also looking for a person to stay with us the whole summer and watch out for our baby girl who will be 7 years old then. We are gonna work in shifts the hole summer and it would be best to have one person during the whole stay.
    She is going to be at sports during some time of the day and needs someone to be at home to welcome her :)


    My name is Makkalitta 43 and my husband name is Guðjón 37 . Our daughter name is Karítas 7 and Natalia 16 who live at home , other two are grown up and moved out. Nataliq 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 everyday (exept for weekends ) and babysit after school and some nights and on some weekend and do some help around the house. Not many hours a day thou :)
    I´m doing full university of Iceland during the winter and i´m going to work in shifts during the summer and every other weekend. I will be working 11 hours shift and my husband 12 hours shifts....
    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 :) You could explore the east Icelandic nature and experience Icelandic summer :) here it is bright 24 hours a day during the summer ! The sun never sits down :)
    I work at vokbaths.is which you can google and you would have free entry to that if you would like to go sometimes at week :) We have a big home and welcome you to be a part of the family 👪

    The person would have access to the car everyday if they prefer to:)

    Best regards !

    I'm looking for babysitting and watch a 7year 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 wake up with the girls too school everyday exept for weekends then you would have weekend off :)

    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 school since i´m studying late everyday... :)

    But it´s really hard during the winter time to go hiking because of the mountains are all ice and slippery.
