  Help

  We are mainly looking for someone to help with cleaning the house and outside the house. Such as mopping floors. Putting dishes away and tidying up. We have four happy, open and kind kids including three active boys and even though we like them to take part in household tasks they need reminding and help to do so.
  We also have a lovely kind and super smart labrador who loves to take walks. We try to take her for an hour walk each day but we aren't always able to so we would also ask you to take her for a walk somedays.
  We are building an extention to our living room which will be a sort of cold greenhouse and we need help with that.
  We would also love it if you were able to cook the occasional dinner. We like everything from a simple meals to experimental cooking.
