  Description

  Hi! We are a warm and friendly family living in a large, comfortable home in Garðabær, Iceland. Our home is close to the sea and lake area, with shops, buses and everything you need nearby.
  
  We are looking for an extra pair of hands to become part of our everyday family life for the next 6 months. We have three boys: one is 11, one is 7, and our youngest is 2 years old. I am also pregnant with twins, so we would really appreciate someone kind, calm and responsible who enjoys being around children and helping with daily life at home.
  
  You would have your own lovely private bedroom with a large TV and your own bathroom. Our home also has a hot tub, sauna and plenty of space to relax. We can provide a bus card and swimming-pool card, and you would have time off to explore Reykjavík and Iceland.
  
  We are looking for someone respectful, positive, reliable and comfortable in a family home. It is important to us that you feel welcome here, not just like someone helping with chores. We enjoy good food, family time, being outdoors, swimming and creating a cosy home environment.

  The help would mainly include spending time with our youngest son, playing with him, helping us keep the house tidy, folding laundry, light cleaning, helping with simple meals, and occasionally supporting with routines such as getting ready, going outside or joining family activities. The older boys are quite independent and often busy with school or activities.
