    June, july and august in Iceland

    The summer is almost here and we are now searching for a helper during the summer months june, july and august.

    Our summer includes taking a trip to the east coast and staying there for a week, the helper will get a chance to take a car and make the trip abit longer, to do sightseeing aorund the country on your own.

    Also, there will be dog, cat and housesitting for a week in july while we travel, along with some opertunities to take daytours from our home to see ,,the golden circle“ or similar tours.

    We need help with cleaning and babysitting, and wouldn´t be disapointed if you could do something for the garden 😊 ect.
    We think it might be good to have 2 friends togeather, but they will need to share a room.

    So take a look at our profile and see if we are the eright fit for you.

    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 boardgames 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.

    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.
