  Description

  We are a family of 5 with a lovely dog. We recently relocated from Somerset to South Devon and the village of Ipplepen. A short drive to Totnes or Newton Abbot.
  
  Our home is big and spacious, with a lovely garden and great access to nature.
  
  We spend lots of time outdoors and doing great adventures which can be shared!
  
  We love cooking and eating great food!
  
  We are particularly looking for people from Waldorf or steiner school backgrounds or kindergarten experience. We appreciate low tech or respect around phone use in front of children - just stating this after a bad experience.
  
  Please dont bother messaging unless you are super happy being active, getting stuck into the chaos and full life with 3 children! We love swimming in cold water and having adventures - dont message if this is not something shared, from our experience suitabilty and compatability is core to a happy experience for all!
  
  Thanks!

  Help

  We are looking specifically for help hanging out with the children as we have three awesome kids aged 9, 6 and 1, but also just with general house help - cooking, cleaning and gardening!
  
  Ideally we are looking for longer term stays i.e. 3 months minimum as it allows us all to develop good relationships.
  
  Driving licence is helpful as you might be able to help with the school runs and living in the countryside car access is helpful!
