Help a family with daily activities in Kópavogur, Iceland

Details

  Description

  I live in Kópavogur, only about 10 minutes from downtown Reykjavík. My home is in a quiet and friendly neighborhood with everything close by, including restaurants, swimming pools, the Sky Lagoon, shops, and beautiful walking areas. I am a single mother with three daughters who are 10, 13, and 21 years old. The oldest works, and the two younger ones live at home. My youngest daughter has autism and ADHD and needs calm, patient support with daily routines. She is a sweet and funny girl who thrives with structure and understanding. Our home also includes a friendly dog and two guinea pigs, so it is important that you are comfortable around animals.
  
  I am looking for a warm, responsible person who can help with simple household tasks, keeping things tidy, supporting my 10 year old with her routines, spending time with the girls when needed, and helping with the dog if you enjoy that. Nothing heavy or difficult just everyday support that helps our home run smoothly. You will have plenty of free time to explore Reykjavík and enjoy Icelandic culture, with easy access to public transportation and nature.
  
  The ideal person is someone who likes children, has patience and calm energy, enjoys animals, and is positive and flexible. Experience with childcare or special needs is a plus, but not necessary.
  
  I also live with health conditions myself. I have POTS and ME long covid, which means I struggle with fatigue and often have limited energy. Because of this, I need someone who can be supportive, calm, and comfortable stepping in when I don’t have the strength. I try to keep our home peaceful and predictable, and having the right person here makes a big difference for both me and my daughters. I always appreciate honesty, kindness, and someone who understands that our routines sometimes need flexibility.
