Help
We are a busy family on a cropping farm, we have two young boys, our youngest isn't very good at sleeping yet. We require someone to help us out with the boys during parts of the day, taking our fun 3 year old out for walks and adventures on the farm and keeping his active imagination busy in his arts and play area.
There would also be a small amount of cooking and tidying involved.
