Description
We are a family of five who live in the town Selfoss in south Iceland. We are active people, we love to go riding, and we enjoy hiking and going for a swim. We are looking for help in our household, with our kids who are 9, 7 and 2 years old. The work time is maximum 4-5 hours per day and weekends off. We offer a private bedroom with a nice and large bed, a tv with android tv and access to a bike and possibly a car during weekends. We have both lived abroad and love to get to know new people and cultural exchange!
We look forward to hearing from you :)

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The easiest way to learn a new language is by communicating with children so here is your chance! We have horses which we can introduce you to and even go for a horse ride if you are an experienced rider. We could learn cooking different cuisines from each other. Many local attractions are nearby which we can tell you about and you can explore.
