Description
I’m on maternity leave and in school. I could use some help around the house and with the kids. I have a 2- and-a-half- year old, very energetic son and an infant daughter. Mostly play with us and join us outdoors or at the library.
My 2-and-a-half-year-old son is very hyperactive and always on the move. He is very kind and loving. He loves new people and if you are up for some playing with cars, chase him around and act like a dinosaur, he will love you. He goes to kindergarten from 8-16 on weekdays.
My daughter was born in June 2023 and is more chill😎 she is a very happy baby, learning how to do basic things like sitting and eating food.
My spouse is an electrician and is away from 7-17, sometimes longer. He is amazing with the kids and a good cook so you would have great dinners if he cooks.
I am studying to become a nurse and could use some help with the kids in the morning and afternoon when my spouse is at work. Maybe some during the day when I’m studying and my daughter is awake.
Any help around the house is greatly appreciated.
We always have dinner together and you would be included.

Accommodation
We have a 2 bedroom apartment and guests would sleep in the kid's room (kids sleep with us, parents). There is a comfortable bed. Since this is my son's room then his toys are in there. There are toys in there and baby clothes.
This is my son’s toy room but if privacy is needed we will ask him to take a few toys and play in the living room (he mostly does play there anyway)
What else ...
The landscape is beautiful here, a mountain that people love to hike on,
You could have a bicycle for some extra exploration.
We are close to the capital so you would be able to do some shopping or exploring there too. There is a bus that goes back and forth and we could drive you early in the morning when Eyþór (spouse) goes to work.
