Description
We live in the beautiful countryside of the English/Scottish Borders. We have lots of family around and love being out and about enjoying all this area has to offer. Our family is made up of myself and my husband and our two children- son ( 4) and daughter ( 2). We live in the countryside so there is lots of nature exploration, hunting, farming, and socialising.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Babysitting and creative play
Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a family made up of my husband who is local to this area, and me from NZ! We’ve lived there for the last 10 years so we’ve got a mixture of cultures at our house already. We have 2 kiddos and a very energetic (too energetic!) dog.
Au Pair Help
This host has let us know they’ll be complying with UK regulations for au pair stays.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We are after an au pair! Someone who is great with children and able to help around the house with light duties. Being a Kiwi family, we’d love to help out any Kiwis or Aussies wanting to explore this part of the world!
We are very flexible on hours- somewhere around 10-15 hours per week- there could be more but it would never be more than 25!
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Accommodation
We have a small flat which is next door to us and could be available to the right person. This would likely be just yours, but might be shared with other staff on occasion (would be discussed with you first).
We’re very flexible! We can provide meals/ basics for you to have in your own time!
What else ...
There is a bus to the local main town (Berwick Upon Tweed) but this isn’t very frequent. We have a manual car that may be available tomorrow use if all the checks are done and you have a clean license etc.
There is a very good train station 20mins away which has direct lines to Edinburgh, Newcastle and London.
