Help
Playing with the kids, keeping them occupied. They understand english as they have an American grandfather, the 7 year old speaks quite good english the 5 year old makes himself understandable. As we own a travel agency there are some days during the summerholiday in Kindergarten in July that we need assistance with few hours a day when there is a lot to do. The Workaway will join our family as much as they like participating in weekend activities. We live in Isafjordur where there is a lot of international students in the university center and other is the age of 20-25 so making international friends here is no problem. We have had Au Pairs before that have highly enjoyed the area
