  Description

  We are a family of 5 living very central in the beautiful town Akureyri, the capital of the north of Iceland. We are looking for a Workawayer. Our family consists of myself Mekkin (34), husband Gísli (41), daughter Þórelfa (13), daughter Unnur (11) and son Sindri (9). My husband sometimes has to work a lot . We like to have someone that speaks English. Who's used to household cleaning, do laundry, take care of children and cook sometimes. We will treat our Workawayer like one of the family. The home is not very silent, the children are socially active and often have their friends visiting.
  We are not vegan/vegetarian.
  
  We are nice, happy family and looking for someone who wants to be a part of our family for several weeks. We like someone who is flexible and honest and we are that as well. We are flexible and easy-going, but if you don’t handle a little action, our family will not be the right place. Our house is really central, 5 min walk to downtown, 5 min walk to school, 3 min walk to the gym and 3 min walk to then’s very nice geothermal swimming pool.


  In the town of Akureyri the puplic transport is free, the buses. But outside of Akureyri the public transport costs, see streato.is
  
  We prefer persons that are experienced Workawayers and are around 17-24years old and only females.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We are looking for support with the household tasks and children care. Who's used to cleaning, doing laundry, taking care of children and cook. For example: hoovering, mopping, folding clothes etc. and childcare, we need someone to pickup the boy from school and take care of the children if we are working ,study or not available, then also feeding them ;) all kids understand a bit in english but they didn't talk alot but you might have to be creative to find the way to communicate or use google translate:) We don’t see this as a problem, just a fun challenge for everyone. Also good for the kids to learn more English
