Description
I'm 69 years , I live in a small town in SW Iceland. I spend a few hours per day building a house close by and do some office work. I have 5 kids and 8 grandchildren. All of them have moved away from home. One daughter lives next door, (2 boys, 8 and 10). One daughter ( 4 kids 8, 5, 3 and 0 ) is also next door, to the other side. Town is small (500) nature is all-around. Rest of family is further away.

Help
We would like to find a nice, helpful and positive person, to stay for free in exchange for some help with (cooking) cleaning, cleaning kitchen, laundry, general help and children care at my and my daughters home. We live in houses next to each other. ( may be a little cooking) at home we are vegetarian. We don't have high demands, ca 3 hours per day would be great and if the volunteer would like to have a day off that's no problem.
We look forward to meet you and exchange experiences and learn new cultures/ways of living. We are relaxed and easy going.
