    Description

    Hello, we are family of five. Living 26 km from Hella on the south coast of Iceland in a beautiful country side home with nature and good view. We are Gígja and Ásgeir and we have 3 kids, Benedikt (3 years old), Ingibjörg ( 2 year old) and Matthías (1 year old).
    We have nice couple staying with us from Chile until October at least. We need someone to help us with the kids, babysitting, cleaning the house, laundry, feeding our dogs (4 small dogs) and cats (2 cats). We also have some project at gardening this summer.



    PS . We do not host vegans since we eat a lot of meat and dairy products.
