  • Description

    Description

    We live in a beautiful, rural part of Somerset, in a large farmhouse. We have 3 horses and 2 sweet dogs and 2 adorable young children. The eldest is a lovely kind boy, 5 years old, who is at school nearby and his sister who is 16 months and an active little sweetheart. We are half an hour from the seaside and have two great nearby towns 10 mins away. We are a busy, fun family, who love going on adventures. We are well travelled and love other nationalities and their culture.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We like to eat meals together as a family and sometimes friends to stay. We like to go on adventures locally to wild places and enjoy camping. We go down to the beach in the summer to swim and play. We have a child's pony and take the eldest to riding lessons and pony club activities as well as riding at home. We look after our surrounding land. We can offer skills with gardening, horses and English cooking.
    We love to travel and have travelled extensively so are always interested in other cultures.

    Help

    We are looking for someone to help with some childcare, school runs and babysitting.

    A bit of help in the house with some cooking, washing and tidying would be great. (We have a cleaner). It would be great to have someone who loves children and animals and the countryside.

    I would also be happy to pay some pocket money.
