Description
I have a small son born end of February 2024 and live very centrally in Reykjavik with a big garden, quiet area. I am often working from home and need babysitting during that time, usually a few hours a day, evening, weekends. And maybe get him from daycare.
You need to have knowledge with young kids, aged around 1,5 years of age. Appreciate reliable, independent, and tidy person. We speak German, English, Icelandic, French.
And I still need someone from 13 of October, to about 23 of October, short time.
The place is almost downtown Reykjavík, the ocean and beach is close by. There is very good connection with public bus close to the house. Biggest swimmingpool of Iceland and sports facilities are only a few minutes away. Bright and big room with bed, sofa, table etc. on third or top floor (stairs).

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
During free time you can discover Iceland, Reykjavík, or the neighbourhood. If you take a weekend or few days off the area around is best to explore. If you want to learn or practice language, we speak Icelandic, German, English and French. If you are interested in gardening, we have a big garden and growing all kinds of veggies. This is also a great place to practice photography, seeing northern lights from mid August to April.

Die beiden wohnen sehr zentral & Verena kennt sich gut aus. Die Wohnung ist sauber & das eigene Zimmer ein angenehmer Rückzugsort. Ich kann den Aufenthalt dort nur empfehlen!
