    ==================
    We are looking for someone from this December - February next year.
    ==================

    Hi there! We are a couple with two young daughters, Saba who is 4 and Rita who is one year old. We also have a dog called Rosie and a cat called Edward. We are both artists and live on a plot of land with building projects going on and spaces rented out, with our vegetable garden. Saba is currently at nursery 4 days a week just for four hours per day, and Rita is not yet in childcare.
    We are looking for childcare for 3-4 hours per day (5 days a week), with an extra 1-2 hours of house cleaning (depending how much is needed on the day) or cooking one or two evenings a week. We would love if you could be on top of the tidying and organising clutter in the house and that preferably you have a 'knack' for this (as I certainly do not!). We definitely like it when people can take initiative on this front and we will always make sure to keep track of your hours so that you do not exceed the daily limit. We also have other jobs round the house and on the land which Jason needs help with so this situation could really suit a couple/ or friends who can share the work between them.
    Also maybe sometimes you might like to do the childcare together if you want!

    Accommodation is a kitchen, bathroom and bedroom.
    We are living in a house opposite your building on the same land so very close to you.

    Per month we will pay you £478.32.
    This is based on for four hours of work daily, 5 days a week at minimum wage, taking out monthly food costs and national living wage (which is £74.62 a week).

    We can give you lifts most days of the week and when you need (6 minute drive from town). It is also a beautiful countryside walk which takes an hour to get to Stroud. It is quite remote here so would suit people who love the countryside.

    We are nice friendly people and will make sure you are well looked after. Please let me know if you have any questions.
    We look forward to hearing from you!

    We live a 5 minute drive to the local town called Stroud and this takes roughly one hour to walk to. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty with the beautiful Cotswold Hills of the Slad Valley. We can lend you a bike to use if you would like to use that but we regularly drive to the town so would be happy to give you a lift when you need it.
