  Description

  Hello I'm Fenella (34) and I have my own seafood catering business. I have two young boys, Liam aged 11 and Arthur aged 6 I'm looking for someone to help me look after the boys while I work. Duties will be cleaning , cooking dinner for them, bathing, play time and putting them to bed. Please note we need someone who holds a full drivers licence.
  
  My husband Mark (37) is a fisherman so we really want to try have a work away come join our family for at least 4 weeks. We live in Ullapool, The Highlands of Scotland. Ullapool is a beautiful place with lots going on from weekly market, pubs, restaurants lovely shops and beautiful walks. We live right on the coast and have the most amazing views.
  
  The work away will have their own big bedroom (with tv and wifi), bathroom at one end of the house. You will have two days off a week and when the kids are in school you will have lots of free time. Hours will start off low so you can explore the village and meet people. The boys are very chilled and well behaved they eat well and are both in bed by 9.30
  
  It will be 5 days a week 6 hours a day (broken up hours) you will have lots of free time when the boys are in school 8.30-3.30.
  
  We will pay weekly pocket money too. You will have your own car so you can explore. We are looking forward to hosting our first work away, for the past three years we had different au pair who were with us for 6 months at a time. We will take you under our wing and treat you as our own. We may be busy but we always find time to do fun family things. We are looking for someone to start from the start of April and we will be looking to have people through till October so if you did enjoy it and you fitted in we can extend it. Looking forward to hearing from you.
  
  Please get in touch for more details.
  
  Fenella and Mark
