Description
We are a farming family in rural Dorset with two little energetic boys aged 6 and 3 who love to play in the garden, woods, on the farm and paddle in nearby rivers.
They also love trips to the seaside. We have chickens, ducklings, dogs who need looking after and my husband will be harvesting for July and August while the boys are on summer holidays.
I would love some help. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I speak French and Spanish and a little Italian, I would love to speak more. We live in rural Dorset 40 minutes away from the sea on a working arable farm. You could experience rural life in Dorset on our family farm. It is possible to walk or cycle into Blandford Forum (a small market town). We are quite traditional and have family meal times with home cooked food. I am a keen gardener and love yoga. I also run a small glamping site with two bell tents and am happy to share my skills and knowledge.

Help
I would love help entertaining the boys - playing games in the garden, reading books, making dens in the woods, jigsaw puzzles, paddling pools, trips to the seaside.
I would also love practical help in the house preparing meals and clearing away after meals. I love to cook and bake and you would be welcome to cook too.
I would really appreciate help tidying toys and with all the muddy clothes and wellies. -
