Hello, my name is Reynir. I'm an icelandic father of 5 girls. I recently divorced my latest wife. We have 3 girls together and live as friends together in our house, which is the home of our kids.
We live in Mosfellsbær, a beautiful town in Iceland that is close to nature and more countrysided than most towns in Europe, but still close to Reykjavík.
Lilli, my ex wife, mother of my three youngest girls is German. So our kids are raised bilingual.
It wouldn't hurt to get someone here who speaks German, but that is not necessary.
The kids are 5,7 and 9 years old. They love to play boardgames, drawing, crafting. In the summers we are outside a lot. We have a big garden.
My daughter from my last relationship is 11 years old and lives in a small town about 1h cardrive away from us.
She stayes with us every second Thursday to Monday and I need help driving her to and from school those days she stayes with us.
Here is were I need you.
That is why I can only accept workawayers with drivers license.
Pet's: 1 dog, 1 cat
We had a few requests lately from people that want to help on a farm, so just to be clear: we are not living on a farm! We live in a house in a small town! No farm :)
A few words for wannabe farmers:
There are a lot of Facebook groups that offer jobs on farms so you might want to check them out in addition to workaway.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

We live both very close to wild nature which is perfect for hiking, bicycle rides or roadtrips, stuff like that, and also to the big capital city Reykjavík where you can go meet new people, to the cinema or shopping. Museums, whale watching, ice-skating... there is always plenty to do here, Icelanders are not easy to be bored!

Driving: The 11 years old needs to be driven to school, or to the mother, which means about 1 hour driving one way. This happens every other week.
Cleaning: vacuuming and wet cleaning the floors mostly, cleaning the toilets and (try) to keep it tidy. We created lists to help with the tasks and make it easier for you. We put up some daily tasks that you should attent to every day, and weekly tasks, where you chose one for every day. The cleaning process takes maybe 2 hours, if you are slow working 3 hours. When we are working and the kids are in school, you have plenty of uninterrupted time to tend to those cleaning tasks
Babysitting; the 5 years old might sometimes need to be brought or picked up from kindergarten. This means 5 minutes walking without the kids (with them, you know, it could take 30 minutes or so).
Cooking: Since all of us are getting a hot meal at work, school or kindergarten, in the week we usually only eat bread for dinner. That means that the workaway is taking care of cooking his own meal in the week. In the weekend we usually cook dinner.
Walking the dog every morning for about one hour. Great way to start the day ☺️
You will have your own room. However we really like you to be around us when you are not working and everyone is home. Some people tend to go to their room a lot and that might feel for us like living with a ghost. You only get to know us by spending time with us, and that's in the afternoon when everyone is home. We like to go swimming a lot, and you are always welcome to come along. You don't pay for that. When the weather is nice we take trips to the close nature, or to playgrounds. You are always welcome to join us.
The kids are still young and we don't want them to get too much screentime. Screens are everywhere these days, in kindergarten, school, at friends, kids run around with smartphones even at a very young age. So we want to ask you to not invite the kids on your phone or laptop or whatever you might bring.Idiomas

Lilli is trying to learn polish.Alojamiento
The house has two floors. Since the divorce we have devided the house into upstairs= Lillis area and downstairs= my area. The kids rooms are upstairs but they are using the whole house like they are used to. The guestroom is in the garage, its a nice little room, warm and cozy. You can have some privacy in there but you are always welcome (and we even prefer it) to be in the living room, kitchen wherever with us.
The house has two bathrooms and one shower.Algo más...
The neighborhood is rich of kids and having a clean environment and acting respectful, like driving slow and being kind in general is expected. We raise our children open minded in any aspect, we are not religious, but respect any religion, sexuality or gender questions. Also we are not vegan, but we love good vegan food, so no problem there either. An open minded helper is very welcome. Iceland has a beautiful country side, hiking and stuff like that is highly recommended, there is a direct bus connection to the nearest cinema and sports place, also good connections to Reykjavík or further. Also the helper can borrow a bike.
