Description
Hi there my name is Adina and my husband Richard is a farmer. He works on a sheep and beef farm where we live and is a keen hunter. I work full time at a vet clinic ( retail) half an hour drive from where we live.
We have two small children 3 and 2 that spend too much time at day care and we are looking for someone to look after our household and pick the kids up from daycare earlier during the week days. If this sounds like you get in touch with me I’m very keen for some help
