    Description

    After many years working in fashion magazines in London, I live in Devon with my kids, aged 9&12. We love adventures in the countryside and get to beach whatever the weather. I am a busy person with a work from home job split with time in London. I am very caring, calm and have a beautiful family and home and would love to help make someone’s experience of working away from home a valuable and fulfilling one. As my kids are older, this isn't about babysitting, its about helping around the house and making things run.
