We are a fun and busy family of 5! Myself and my husband are both veterinary surgeons and we live on a beautiful 20 acre farm just outside Newmarket in Cambridgeshire. We have 3 amazing children (ages 11, 9 and 7 years), 2 dogs, 3chickens, 3 horses and 3 ponies.
I run our busy lives and the farm but also work sporadically for a local equine business. My husband works in one of the local large equine hospitals, and with the vast number of horses in and around Newmarket, he is a busy man!
We love the outdoors and life on the farm. We also enjoy a various sports including horse riding, tennis, cycling, swimming and skiing. I am a committee member for our local tennis club and organise a junior tennis coaching programme.The children take part in various activities during the week and the older two are members of our local pony club. We love socialising, seeing our friends, meeting new peoplle and, of course... family time.!
We are are looking for the right person to welcome into our family home and help out with the day to day running of all of our busy lives.
Experience with HORSES required.
We are looking for FEMALE candidates only.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

As we are looking for somebody with an interest in horses, Newmarket ‘The Home of Racing’ would certainly tick a lot of boxes! This area is packed with horses and ponies of all shapes and sizes. You would have the opportunity to visit a local stud farm, go to the famous Newmarket gallops and go behind the scenes at one of Europe’s largest and busiest equine hospitals.
Other near by places include The market town of Bury St Edmunds, the Cathedral town of Ely and the stunning and historical city of Cambridge.
London is also easily accessible. It takes approximately 1 hour to get there by train from our local station.
If you would like to visit the UK, experience English culture, live in the country and be part of our fun and friendly family then please do contact us. We would love to hear from you.Proyectos con niños

We live in a large farmhouse situated in the middle of 20 acreas of grass paddocks. Our guest would have their own king size double bedroom with ensuite. They would share our kitchen and living area with the rest of the family. If they would prefer they could have the use of their own living room in the evenings.
They would receive their food during the course of their stay which would be typically British.
We are always open to new ideas and recipes should they wish to bring any! Although we are not vegetarian we do eat lot of fruit and vegetables and would be more than happy to accommodate anybody who is.Algo más...
Stanstead is our closest airport which is approximately 45 minutes away and we would be happy to pick you up from there.
