    Description

    Hi!

    We are a family of five, we live in Ísafjörður, Iceland and are looking for some help around the house and with the kids. My husband and I have three boys (2012, 2019 and 2022), two cats and a dog. My husband is away a lot due to work so we would love to have someone live with us to help out with the boys and some housework. We would like to have a person that that is independent, interested in kids/with some experience in taking care of children and speaks good English + preferably with a drivers license. We would preferably like someone from Europe or someone already in Europe:)

    You would be a part of the family with all that includes but also have free time to do whatever you want:) if you would like it would be more than welcome to join us if we go traveling during your stay:)

    Please send me a message if you are interested in knowing more!

    Have a good day,

    Thelma:)

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You would get an opportunity to get to know every day life in Iceland, our food and activities. We are hobby farmers who enjoy skiing for example.

    We think it’s great for our boys to have a chance to learn English and hearing about different lives people from different parts of the world live:)
