Description
Must love dogs!
We live in a small town close to Reykjavik.
We are a married couple with a son, one lady dog and two lady cats.
We need help with babysitting our son, he is 9 yo., looking after animals and help around the house, mostly cleaning and normal household things.
Our son likes minecraft, baking, playing board games and pokemon so if you are into any of that he will be happy and if you are not he will be happy to show you. He also likes all kinds of discovery, nature and animals.
Our household is calm, welcoming and very easy going. We like reading, learning new things, hiking, music and travelling.
We live only 40 minutes away from Reykjavik and close to the international airport. If you can drive a standard shift car we can lend it to you for a overnight trip, for one night, during your stay, and also there is public transportation.
We look forward to getting to know our helper.

Help
We live a quiet live, in a small town, but enjoy having the capital less then an hour away when we feel like going to see a play or to a concert. We are looking for a workaway to come and help us with babysitting, dog and cat care, and house work.
Our son is 9 yo and speaks good english. We have a border collie blend dog, Tyra and two lovely lady cats, Jazz and Gato Gris. They are both gray. Týra the dog is very happy to go for walks but a leash puller, but learning fast. The cats are happy when fed.
We would also care for some help with housework.

They picked me up from the airport, generously let me use their car and even helped me plan my future travels. They made sure I had all the food I wanted and our conversations were delightful. Walking their dogs was lovely, contrary to what Kristjana said and their friendly cats were a bonus… read more
