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!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We have a beautiful home in a fantastic part of the countryside of South Devon.
We live 10 minutes from Totnes which is a super cool town with loads going on culturally and socially.
We love outdoor activities and live super close to the amazing beaches as well as Dartmoor which has beautiful walks and rivers.
We cook amazing food and love to eat well. We go camping, surfing, paddleboarding cooking outdoors, walking and adventuring!

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!
