    Description

    We are family of five that live near Breiðdalsvík. We are sheep farmers and we own around 400 sheep and 3 border collie dogs they are working sheep dogs. We need no help with the farm.
    I am 28 years old and my husband is 33 years old, our children are 12, 7 and 4 years old and we are also pregnant with our fourth. We need help with our kids, cooking and cleaning. We love to be out in the nature, spend time with our animals and our kids. We love hiking and being with friends and family ! :)
    East of Iceland is very beautiful and there are many things to see in your free time.
