Descrição
We are a family with three grown children living in the town of Selfoss in south Iceland, 45 min drive from Reykjavik. Our daughter lives in Germany now, but our two boys are at home. Our youngest is 18 years old.
The dad is a campus missionary with a background in software engineering. The mom is a music teacher. We have three cats.
We enjoy getting to know new people and sharing life. -

Ajuda
Our house was built in 1954. Our focus for the summer of 2027 is to paint the house, the fence, and the two buildings in our backyard.
You will help 5 hours a day on average. We prefer for these hours to be worked flexibly so that you can either do 5 short days or 2-3 long days because most of the work is to paint. When the weather is dry we want to take advantage of that and work but take a break when the it is raining and we cant paint. Painting is the main job for the summer, but we will have a few other smaller projects.
Sometimes (we can't promise it) you can borrow a car if you would like to make short trips in your spare time.
We prefer couples - but are open to exploring other options. -

Kolbrún is learning German and loves practicing speaking it. Otherwise, Icelandic is our local language, and we speak English at a high level. We have lived in the USA on two different occasions. -

Blues (4 anos)
Son of Sónata and was born in our house. He is a happy cat, and smiles often. He likes to sleep on our bed.
Sónata (6 anos)
She is independent and often grumpy, but loves attention at the right moments. Very, very smart.

Our main task for the week was to paint the first floor, which we really enjoyed, and we took the super cute dog Aria (who licks everything she loves and loves everyone, so beware) out for walks. We experienced the work as fun and not … read more
