  Description

  Hi there!
  
  We are a family of four. We have two sons, 13 years old and a little crazy one, turning 3 years old in October.
  Something about ourselves. I (Angelia Fjóla) and Hjörvar (husband) have been together since 2008, we got married in 2014. We are both 33 years old. We love our hometown, Hvolsvöllur. We moved here in 2017 from Hveragerði and we just love the small-town vibe. The town is small, located in the south of Iceland, about an hour and a half from Reykjavík. I work as a hotel manager for the local hotel, Hotel Hvolsvöllur. Hjörvar is at the moment studying building architecture. This summer he will be working in building related job. Hjörvar is also coaching football here in town for the local team, KFR. We have a lot of friends and we are very close to our families, so our home is often quite lively and usually filled with music (without any of us being musical).

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Getting to know our beautiful Iceland. Around Hvolsvöllur are so many great attractions to see!
  Reykjavík, the capital, is about an hour away and we have buses going from Hvolsvöllur about 3x a day to the city. We also drive quite often to Reykjavík so it would be no problem to get a lift if needed.
  The bus goes just about anywhere in the country so you can practically see all of Iceland in the time you would be staying with us.

  Aide

  We would like some help with :
  
  Preparing meals.
  It is important that you know your way around the kitchen. We love enjoying a good meal and you could be required to cook dinner. Our little one has many dietary needs so you might need to learn a thing or two about allergies and intolerance :)
  
  Cleaning.
  Our house is 130 square meters on one floor. We would require your help with keeping it clean. We will find a plan together how to keep areas tidy and clean :)
  
  Babysitting.
  Our older son, Brynþór loves football and likes to have someone with him sometimes on the field. He loves the company and is very open to getting to know new people. The younger one, Ýmir is at the kindergarten until end of June so we would need help taking care of him all July while the kindergarten is closed due to summer vacation. When your attention is needed with kids, the other help would be minimum. It is very important to us that you are comfortable being around children.
  
  
  Other random things: We might ask you to help in various areas of the home, gardening, maintenance, etc. But please note that we would never ask you to do anything you are uncomfortable with or something that is out of your ability.
  
  Maintenance
  We are rebuilding our patio at the moment and the plan is to build a fence in front of the home. If you know your way with tools, Hjörvar would be happy to get some help and company.
