Description
I am a single working mother to five lovely children, 4 are full time here in Luxembourg ( age19, 10, 8 and 2). We also have two small dogs, one of whom is a blind rescue who we adopted in 2021z I hold down a demanding full time job but also sing and I play several instruments and I regularly perform. We moved to Luxembourg in 2019 from the Channel Island of Guernsey and are located in a beautiful area, also with great public transport links to the city (20 mins by bus). We speak English at home so this could be a great opportunity to improve English skills without leaving continental Europe.
I really am just looking for someone to be an extra pair of hands, spending a bit of time with the children and helping with the housework and pets, lots of free time to explore. Occasionally I am looking for more a house sitter to look after our dog whilst away.
Please check my calendar tab before contacting me - I keep it up to date :-)

Just looking for a little help! Someone to be an extra pair of hands in the morning and evening as I get myself ready for work, and the children ready for school/nursery, and help with our pets, like taking the dogs for a walk. Help in the garden is welcome for those who like to be outdoors.
I am working all day Monday - Friday, so there is plenty of time to explore Luxembourg
