Description
We are a family of 5 living in rural Herefordshire with our 4 dogs. We live in a lovely Arts and Crafts house and are surrounded by beautiful, formal and informal gardens. You can walk or cycle to the village of Presteigne where there are lovely shops, delis and antique shops. There is a river at the bottom of our field where you can wild swim. There are
lots of lovely walks, woodlands and forests as well as great pubs. We are very much in the countryside. The nearest train station is 30 minutes away, the nearest airport is 1.5 hours away.
We are looking for a person or couple who love kids and love dogs to join our family.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Language practice
Babysitting and creative play
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am an artist and am regularly painting and would be happy to take our workaway off to paint landscapes.
My children would love to have someone older than them to engage with them, learn a different language and also playing football, basketball, swimming, building dens or treehouses with them. Playing lego, gaming!
Help
I love to cook and would love someone who also loves cooking and baking to help me and to bake with the children.
A bonus would be if you can drive as this will help with childcare, taking them to school sometimes etc. Taking them for swimming lessons.
Someone who can play the piano and guitar to help my children learn would be great.
I am keen for my children to pick up words from another language.
We have a cleaner so we only need our workaway to help keep the children's things tidy.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
French: Beginner
Accommodation
Live on a separate floor to us with mostly private bathroom (unless we have guests to stay.) We also have a shepherds hut by the river with a wood burning stove and small double bed.
I am a vegetarian but I cook lots of different things and my husband and kids eat meat.
I would hope the work away would help prepare children's food/tidy away... help
with the cooking etc.
What else ...
Helpers will have access to the most amazing walks. We are situated in the welsh borders so it is very beautiful but remote. We would be happy to
take you to the railway station sometimes - where you can get trains to Birmingham, Cardiff and Manchester.
We like to have friends around and socialise with long lunches and suppers in the garden.
