Description
Welcome to our profile! :)
We've been hosting for quite some time now and are happy to have hosted many people from very interesting backgrounds :)
We are a family of four in Iceland! Hjördís (26), Atli (28), Sigurður (6) and Emilía (4).
Our day to day can get very busy and often we find ourselves needing a little wiggle-room to meet all our timeslots. And so we started hosting workawayers!
We live in a small town next to Keflavík called Sandgerði, our town is relaxed and easy going, almost everything is within walking distance, gym, pool, library & grocery store. The capital, Reykjavík is only 40km away and we drive there frequently.
We have two cars, one for Atli's work and another for jetting around town, be it taking the kids to and from kindergarten or going to the store.
You will have the "blue car" fully during your stay, your own room and wifi. We have a shared bathroom.
Daily tasks will include mostly childcare/babysitting with a splash of general housekeeping.
Taking the kids to and from kindergarten and spending quality time with them between the hours or 16-18.
We have two dogs, their names are Róm (Rome) And Odessa :)

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
We do traditional Icelandic food regularly and can share recipes if there's interest. We live in a quiet town with very little light pollution so northern lights are a frequent occurrence during winter time and we live close to the beach! (6min walk).
The community is very friendly with frequent events being hosted.
Projets impliquant des enfants
Ce projet peut impliquer des enfants. Pour en savoir plus, consultez nos directives et conseils ici.
Aide
Waking up with the children, getting them ready for kindergarten, (7-8 & they eat breakfast at kindergarten).
Picking them up from kindergarten at 15:45-16:00 and spending quality time with them from 16 - 18 (No screen time).
That is our day to day but ccasionally we will deviate from this plan.
There's plenty of free time to go around and we try to be very flexible around longer trips a workawayer plans.
All family events we go to you are automatically invited to as well but not required.
Some housekeeping is expected. (Dishes/cleaning, normal household projects).
We have a family calendar which you will be invited to join to keep track of our upcoming events, appointments and general comings and goings.
Langues parlées
Anglais: Courant
Icelandic: Courant
Allemand: Débutant
Hébergement
We have a spare bedroom for you with a bed, nightstand, clothing drawers and basically everything you would think of in a regular bedroom. The fridge is always stocked.
We try to have family dinners together as much as possible.
We have internet and washer/drier/shower, TV/Netflix.
We also have a yard and the playground is close by. If ever anything is needed, make us aware and we will provide it.
Again, you will have full access to our second car.
We have no dietary restrictions but respect yours.
Autres infos...
We have a town bus, gym, swimming pool and library We have multiple locations with historical sites and amazing views.
Our cars can only drive on paved roads, please keep that in mind when the inevitable easy looking dirt road tries to tempt you. Icelandic off-roads can be extremely misleading and should only be driven with the appropriate vehicle, off-road experience and training (yes, training).
We are flexible with "long weekends" so longer trips are on the table and up for discussion.

All the time she spent with our kids was focused, high quality and joyful! She's super curious; and energetic as can be!
Through a string of random coincidences we found ourselves without a workawayer the same day Matt created his profile.
Stranded in Hafnarfjörður at the Viking hotel looking for a roof over his head. The whole ordeal was very unusual but we took a chance and in one word if I may; Impeccable. You're extremely conscientious, diligent,… read more

She was great with our children and was a big help around the house. We hope other hosts will soon be lucky enough to
get to know this amazing person.
