Travelers will get an insight into a traditional Icelandic household. Sirrý loves to bake and cook so there might be something there to pick up. Raw nature is all around us, just a few steps away. We are always open to teach you about Icelandic culture.

Help
We require help with our two boys and tasks around the house.
We are looking for a highly optimistic (happy) person (female), who is at least in their 20s, loves children and would like to be a part of our family. This person must be natural and good with kids, genuinely into family life, and understands family dynamics (the highs and lows). We are looking for someone with a positive attitude.
We will need more help with the younger boy during the day, he is not in kindergarten yet.
3-4 days a week we will be needing help from circa 9-14 with the younger boy so the main focus is on him.
We would also like some help around the house maybe using the time while he is sleeping during the day.
Our dream WorkAway is someone who is:
- a female
- in her 20s
- happy in spirit
- active
- adaptable
- flexible
- open-minded
- genuine and authentic
- likes cooking
- likes chores
- loves children
- understands family dynamic
- enjoys playing games with family
- social with us and our friends

We like to have some live in the house. Our family and friends will probably be frequent visitors. We hope to find someone who likes to be around people and is open minded.
Our house is surrounded by nature and there is beautiful lake right by the front door.
Still we are only 7 min drive from the capital, Reykjavík.
There is public transport from our neighborhood
to the city center.
Once a week we like to go out on a date night and that would require watching the kids.A little more information
