We are a family of four living in a beautiful part of East Devon. I am a refugee barrister and I teach gardening at our local primary school where our kids (4 and 6) attend. My husband is a writer and classics teacher. We aim to live sustainably, grow our own fruit and vegetables and to contribute as much as possible to our local community. We also run a local literary festival.
We live in a former house theatre and part of a large Georgian estate. We have 2.5 acres and more communal land. We are close to woodlands, sea and rolling fields.

We have an energetic and engaging community immediately around us. We love sharing ideas and experience and meeting people from all over. Our house is a focal point for visitors from all walks of life. We are also seeking to improve our landscape and to share experiences of sustainable living. We will provide £75 weekly.
We are looking for someone to help with after school care for our children during the week 3:30-6:30 pm. We would like someone who is creative and likes doing activities with children of all types and is a native French speaker. No previous child care experienced required: just enthusiasm and a willingness to help. We have a preference for workawayers who are over 25 years old but will consider all good people!
