Description
We are a Mexican/English/Israeli family with a 4-yo, a 2.5-yo, and a cat. My wife, Tona, is the kids' dad because she is trans, please be cool with that before you apply. Also please be confident you can earn the respect and admiration of a toddler.
My name is Aya and I work full time, two days at home and the rest in the office. I still have to work when the kids have a holiday, so we need your help! There is a half term from the 27th to the 31st of May and Summer holidays from the 19th of July until early September.
During term times, we are flexible on start dates and are perfectly happy for you to come and go travelling and come back to us, etc. If you want to come outside of the holidays that is fine by us but we prefer someone who can also be around for some or all of that period.
Our household works a lot and we are in a rural area so we are looking for someone who can be perfectly happy by themselves during the day; please let me know that you are fine with that in your message because I worry about putting some poor soul in the middle of the countryside by themselves if they are someone who needs the excitement of a big city or to be surrounded by people most of the time.
We go to my parent's house on Fridays (for a non-religious version of Shabbat), it's your choice if you come along to that, They do have very excitable dogs by the way. You are welcome to be as independent or as involved as suits you.

Aya, Tona and Luken were such lovely people, I had a very lovely experience being a part of their family.
