Description
Our family of five consists of parents Martha (30) and Björn (32), 9 year old girl and two boys 5 and 2 year old. We also have a labrador retriever. We would like some help around the house, with the kids and the dog. We have a fun and spontaneous family that drop by the house every now and then. We live in Akranes Iceland which is a town of 7500 people.
Types of help and learning opportunities

Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
In our surrounding neighborhood is beautiful nature. For example we look out our dining room window and see a glacier. From the living room window we see the ocean. Down the street is a kayak rental. Traveling with bus is possible from our town but we will most likely offer to drive around and show the person interesting sites of our country.
