Description
Only persons that know and love cats are welcome! Must love to play with my 3 cats
We live in Iceland in Mosfellsbaer very close to Reykjavík. (15km)
Our house is on a big land, lots of trees a small river and we have 4 cats.
As we are both getting older (73) and my husband blind.
I desperately need a hand in my garden in summer.
I also need someone that does not mind chores like vacuming and house cleaning.
I am used to haveing foreign young people. Speak Danish and English well. I can send photos in email to intrested people.
I am an artist.
My husband worked as a radio host and a guide. Knows just about everything!
Looking forward to hear from you!
Love Steinunn
