    About Our Family

    We are Tim (37) and Natalie (37), living just outside Marlow in beautiful Buckinghamshire countryside.

    Tim is a pilot in the Royal Air Force and Natalie is a plastic surgeon working in the NHS. Our jobs can occasionally involve early starts, late finishes, or unpredictable days, so we are looking for someone reliable and kind to support our family when work commitments make childcare more challenging.

    We have two lovely boys:

    Seb (4) – A really happy, polite little boy who absolutely loves running around outdoors. He attends preschool and has lots of energy and curiosity.

    Oscar (9 months) – A very chilled, content baby (unless he’s hungry!) who currently attends nursery and is generally smiley and relaxed.

    Our Home & Lifestyle

    We live in a spacious 4-bedroom house just outside Marlow, surrounded by countryside. We love being outdoors as a family — walks, fresh air, and making the most of where we live.

    You would have:
    Your own bedroom
    Your own private space in the evenings if you’d like downtime
    A welcoming family environment

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We live in a really special part of England, and we would love for you to enjoy it as much as we do.

    We are just outside Marlow, a beautiful riverside town on the Thames with cafés, independent shops and lovely walks.

    Nearby you can visit:
    Henley-on-Thames – famous for its regatta and picturesque riverside setting
    The Chiltern Hills – perfect for hiking and countryside views
    Oxford – historic university city with stunning architecture
    London – just over an hour away by train for museums, shopping, theatre and sightseeing

    There are lots of opportunities to explore on weekends, and we would be very happy to help you discover the area, practise English (if helpful), and experience British life.
