  Description

  We are a family of four people and two pets. My name is Eva and I'm 28 years old, Áki (29 years old), Talita (6 years old) and Eli (1 years old). We have a cat called Winston and a dog called Roy.
  
  We live in a village called Hósvík on the island Streymoy. Áki and I both work fulltime in the capital Tórshavn which is a 30 min drive from Hósvík. Áki works as a mechanic and I work at the faroese telephone company. Because of the many hours at work we could need a little help at home with the daily tasks as vacuuming, cleaning, maybe gardening, making dinner and walking the dog.
  
  We have a beautiful nature in the Faroe Island and a lot to experience around the country.
  
  You're welcome to contact us if you have any questions!
