Description
I am a single Mum with a lovely 12 year old son. We live in a wonderful town called Frome where there is loads happening and which is close to the famous roman spa city of Bath and one hour from Bristol. London is 2 hours away.
We are also near about an hour from the south coast with beautiful beaches and Devon and Cornwall are 2 -3 hours away. There are lots of other places to visit by train or coach including cheddar gorge, stone henge, Salisbury and Glastonbury- famous for the yearly festival. There are lots of cafes and restaurants in Frome, a leisure centre, (gym) swimming pool, cinema and 3 theatres. It is quite an alternative place with lots of markets, yoga, meditation and crafts people and artists.
We have a little cat called Kazzi who we adore. My son is very active he plays football whenever he can and loves the skatebaord park and bmx track. You can walk into the centre of Frome in 6 minutes and would be welcome to join in with our plans at the weekend. You would also be welcome to borrow my bike. I love walking and would enjoy having some company.
I have just recently extended the house to create a wonderful kitchen. I love to cook and be cooked for, so hope you can help with that as well as everyday cleaning and tidying.
I only want 1 person, so if you are a couple or 2 friends, I am really sorry, but please do not contact me.
Thanks

Help
I work part time with an office at home but also go away for work for long days and the occasional overnight stay (about 4 times a year for one night) as I am an trainer and need help looking after my son during those times, before and after school. We have a friendly neighbour who is available any time to provide support in an emergency. If you can play sports/board games/go on bike rides/swim/play computer games with him that would be great. I need a little help with the garden weeding. S
You need to be able to cook dinner two or three times a week, do the cleaning/ironing and share the household chores like washing the dishes and cleaning your own room and bathroom.

We go to bed early and are up around 6.45am to get to school and would like someone who doesn't want to stay out late too often. We don't smoke and smoking would not be acceptable in our home or garden.
