Description
18 - 28 October
My husband and I are looking for someone to look after and entertain our two young boys (7, 3) over the half-term holiday this October 2025.
We will be staying at my brother's house which is a beautiful house in a countryside village.
There are beautiful gardens, plenty of places to go for countryside walks. There is a tennis court and padel court.
You will have your own room and ensuite bathroom.
You would be with us as part of the family, to help out with entertaining the boys and then giving them dinner/bath and getting ready for bed. We would also ask for a helping hand around the house - putting away toys, laundry, loading the dishwasher etc.
We also pay the legal hourly wage.
