    Description

    Must love dogs!
    We live in a small town close to Reykjavik.
    We are a married couple with a son, tone lady dog and two lady cats.


    The help we need is babysitting our 8 y.o. son, do household chores and help with cats and dog.

    Our son likes minecraft, baking, dancing and pokimon so if you are into any of that he will be happy. He also likes all kinds of discovery, nature and animals.

    Our household is calm, welcoming and layed back. We like reading, learning new things, hiking and traveling.

    We have a standard shift car, not automatic, so you need to be able to drive that kind. We will also lend it to you for a weekend to do your own disvcover of Iceland.

    We look forward to having you with us.

    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 8 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 abit anxious and a leash puller, but learning fast. The cats are happy when fed.
    We would also care for some help with housework.
