Au Pair/Nanny job description
We are a professional friendly family with 2 very nice children. They understand and speak some English already.

If you are interested in joining us in Iceland please do not hesitate to contact us.

You could be sharing duties with another aupair (doing housework and helping with the children and possibly the grandmother who lives in another house) and/or volunteering at our small hotel.

You must be completely smoke and drug free and if you are from outside of Europe you must be between 18 and 26 years of age.

Family's Message to Au Pairs and Nannies
In general we are looking for someone who can help us with the children and by doing housework and possibly some gardening and helping the grand mother who speaks English. Our children go to play school during workdays, so childcare would be proportionally less than, often is the case.

Our house is on the edge of Greater Reykjavik, in a town called Mosfellsbaer. We are surrounded by nature. We are next to a path that goes to the ocean and into the mountains. All services are within walking distance including swimming pools, stables, gym, shops etc. There is a direct bus that goes to the center of Reykjavik. If you are aupairing for us you may have a room in a very nice apartment shared with tenants in the same house, the house next to our apartment or another house, which tends to give you more privacy and more time completely off.

We own a small hotel/guesthouse in another part of Iceland, in Thorshofn, Iceland for which we are looking for volunteers. In this case you could find other work in the village and stay at the hotel for free.

There is the possibility of a combination of these opportunities.

We are open to the possibility of you coming first for a trial period and then extend the stay if there is a mutual interest.

We are looking for someone that is mature (yet preferably between 18 and 26) that does not mind working hard while at work, but also appreciates a definite time off and the lovely environment we have.

You can see some more photographs from the photo gallery sidebar link and our web page, you can also get some extra answers from the in depth interview sidebar button.

If you send us an e-mail please quote your Great Aupair profile number. Please also let us know which opportunity or combination you are most interested in.

We are members from time to time, if you see our email please send us a direct email so that we can contact directly when our membership has expired.

(Aupairs from within Europe AND aupairs from elsewhere who do not require a visa to travel, do not need a visa if they are staying for less than 3 months at a time and no longer than 6 months per year in total. )

References available.

Hope to hear from you soon.

PS Also contact us if you are interested in just visiting Iceland and perhaps finding work elsewhere (people from within Europe do not need a work permit) then you might want join our International community of young healthy people who flatmate in Iceland. Please do not hesitate to contact us.

Au Pair Testimonial...
Thanks Greataupair. I have a found the perfect summer job in my hometown at the salary that I wanted. It was my intention to find a position in the NL but the offer that I have right now is too good to passed up. Later in the fall when I am at college I will try to find a part time position. I thought I should write a testimonial because two years ago when I was first considering being a nanny I had no idea how to go about it. This site was very educational and gave me clear guidelines about being a nanny and what to expect. If you are a person wanting to spread out your wings in the safety of another home being an aupair or nanny is a great experience for your life. If you like kids and have enjoyed babysitting then be brave, take a nanny online course, learn cpr and first aid, learn how to swim, practice a little cooking and go into the world.. Somewhere you will find the right home suitable just for you. The key is to have patience and search until you have the place and conditions that you want. Taking care of children is an art and if you are good at it that makes you a highly special person. In less than a month I was able to find a family that was a good match for me. Even though I have other career interests I think being a nanny will always be my alternate career. Thank you Greataupair, this site is fabulous.
