Welcome Letter to the Au Pair
We are an active and easy going Icelandic family of five that lives in Kópavogur, in the capital area of Iceland.
The family opened a new popular restaurant downtown Reykjavík last year and needs help taking care of the kids a few nights per week and with some house work.
Iceland is one of the safest countries in terms of the COVID-19. We have very few cases in the whole country.
Job Description
Kría gets up with the parents and has got school until 4pm. She needs to be picked up afterwards by you. The school is a 10 minute walk from the house. You need to look after the children in the afternoons.
On most days, one of the parents is home before dinnertime but sometimes we're working late.
When we both are working nights, you would need to take care of the children until they go to bed and cook dinner. Ýmir is a great cook and likes to bake so he helps very often. The children like easy meals such as pizza, hot dogs, pasta and so on.
During the day, you need to do easy house work and laundry.
You will have a lot of free time in which you could meet up with other au pairs (there are many in the Reykjavik area), discover the environment or even attend a language course, if you wish! We need someone who is responsibly looking after the children and is there for them when we are not.
We pay the normal Icelandic au pair rate of 15.000ISK and your flight to Iceland, too.
