Description
101% non smokers only please. And you must have full covid vaccination. Thank you

We live in a big old house on the outskirts of liverpool well served by public transport. We have a big garden and a variety of animals. 3 chickens, 1 dog as our lovely Teddy died this year, 4 cats and two tortoise so you must really like animals! Particularly because our animals see themselves as actually in charge of the household..My daughter lives next door and has 4 small children who wander in and out. they also have a dog.
At the beginning of June we got a rescue dog from Bulgaria. He is lovely but still very anxious. So now we are 2 dogs again.
At home is myself and my husband . We are a big family so often visitors! I just want a bit of general help with anything that needs doing. Our animals are very important to us so must be someone who really enjoys their company. And doesn’t mind feeding, grooming etc. And maybe help improving my Spanish.
We are quite an academic family and interested in lots of things. And Id love to meet someone who knows about Mac computers and could help me use mine better!!
It is a totally non smoking house so non smokers only please

Sue and Chris are great hosts, Sue's place is very comfortable, I never wanted to leave, their home is so comfortable and welcoming. Sue, despite being very busy with her work, was always asking if we needed anything. We really enjoyed spending a month and a few days at her place. She took us over to Nick and Bob's (lovely people, we loved meeting… read more

I loved my stay with Sue and Chris! They are adorable and made me comfortable in their house. They are great and kind-hearted people. Their house is a bit messy and I always wanted to help with the organization hahahah when I wanted to throw something away, Sue would say to herself "be brave" and give it to me to put it in the bin. It's a very big… read more

I do not have words to thank Sue and Chris. They are great and flexible people. I really enjoyed this experience of 1 month and a half, I felt like part of the family.
About the work, it didn't feel like it, just cleaning a bit the house, caring the pets and I helped Chris to prepare the garden for planting. I can said that I was expecting to… read more

Lukas transformed our house in the 4 weeks he was with us! He was pleasant friendly and helpful. He was happy to do any jobs that needed doing and got on well with our family of animals. He was able to work on his own initiative if he saw things that needed doing. We all miss him! Come back soon xxx

Sue and Chris are the definition of perfect hosts. I think I have never met such welcoming, open-hearted people. They always cared about me and also about my friend as his car broke down. It was very easy to work for them because they were extremely flexible. I could work in the morning, afternoon or even in the evening. I mostly helped them with… read more
