Description
We are a family with older children (college). We live 10 minutes from the nearest town and this is where we have our businesses too. The house is in a rural setting but close to amenities. Lucy has a coffee shop and eatery and Patrick has an office in the same building. We have dogs and horses and a cat. We would like help at home. There is gardening, painting and general tidying to do at the house and yard...nothing very strenuous.
