  Description

  We are looking for someone who would like to spend some time living in a family in a large city in England. We are both professionals working full-time.
  
  We are looking for a friendly person who would be willing to help us to look after the kids. We have 4 kids, 16, 15, 11 and 7 . The girl Masha is currently home educated and is planning to go Germany with her dad for 3 months , hence I need help with the 7year old.
  
  You would need to take our son to school at 8:00 and then pick up at 3:25 pm from school. The school is located 20 mins walk from home. We have bikes and you can cycle to school.
  
  We also need help with taking kids to activities, occasional help with cleaning, and sometimes babysitting.
  
  We have a spare bike for a workawayer :)
  
  Wе have beautiful park nearby, it would be nice if workawayer could go to that park with kids sometimes.
  
  We already have hosted a number of workawayers and we really enjoyed the experience and looking forward to host a new one.
  
  Our location is the best of both worlds: City and Countryside. There are lots of long walks or bike rides to go on. Public Footpaths mean that there is very easy access to the countryside. We live on the edge of Pick District. City of Derby is 20 min away by bus, Birmingham 1 hour, London 1:45 min on the train. We are in the middle, basically everything is quite accessible. Scotland is only 3 hours away.
  
  The list of places to visit in the Peak District is endless... Matlock, Bakewell, Bolsover Castle, Newstead Abbey (Lord Byron birthplace), Nottingham Castle.
  
  Any questions, please ask :)
