Description
Hi
We are Bjarni, Hildur and Benedikta. Benedikta is 6 years old school girl. Hildur is currently attending University studying Kindergarten studies and working in kindergarten. We are a very lovely family and our house is a detached house. We live in Hvolsvöllur. Hvolsvöllur is a small town in the south of Iceland, about an hour from Reykjavík, the main capital of Iceland. Bjarni and Hildur work in Hvolsvöllur on the day shift. Benedikta is in daycare from 8 to 12 clock every day Monday to Friday. We are looking for a lovely person to look after Benedikta from 12 to 16 clock. The person who will look after Benedikta can have a card for the gym and the swimming pool. The gym and the swimming pool are 3 min walk from our home (next street). Benedikta is very lovely, funny and has a lot of friends. Benedikta understands and talks easy English.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Getting to know our beautiful Iceland. Around Hvolsvöllur are so many great attractions to see!
Reykjavík, the capital, is about an hour away and we have buses going from Hvolsvöllur to about 3x a day to the city. We also drive quite often to Reykjavík so it would be no problem to get a lift if needed.
The bus goes just about anywhere in the country so you can practically see a lot of Iceland on your time here.
