    Help

    We would love someone stay that can become a part of our family, be playful with the children, sharing their knowledge and stories, teaching them anything that you would be happy to or captivates them. helping with household tasks such as cooking and cleaning either along side us or whilst I take kids out for activities would be wonderful and time to spend with us in the garden, keeping the veggie gardens weeded and working on little projects. we also have 2 dogs, one younger who loves lots of play and chickens, the kids mostly care for them.
