Description
Right now we mostly need help with some carpentry project we are doing. people who can paint walls, do carpentry work inside and help with cleaning and tidying are extremely welcomed :)
We are Thelma and Fjalar and have 3 boys aged 8,5 and 2. We live in Hella on the South coast of Iceland. We run a tourist buggy company and other things on the side of that. We have a house with a patio and a big garden. We are both hard working and we like people who share the same work ethics. If you are independent, have initiative and a positive outlook you will fit in well with our family. We appreciate help around the house and with the kids. We also have a dog that would love to explore our town with you and a rabbit that would appreciate feeding.
PS We might take some time to answer requests. We do not host vegans since we eat a lot of meat and dairy products.
