Description
My husband Cassian and I have three children, (boy aged 11, girl aged 9, boy aged 7). And a small cockapoo dog. Cassian is the CEO of a tech company. I was a doctor and am now an artist.
We spend our summers in a beautiful house in South Devon on the banks of the River Dart. The house has an joining Shepards hut with a full kitchen, under floor heating, electricity, WiFi and its own outdoor space where our Workaway can stay.
We are looking for someone to help us look after the children in the mornings, so I can go to my studio which is 10 minutes walk down the road from the house. And to help with the laundry.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are all English speakers.
This is a wonderful opportunity to explore the historic setting of rural Devon. Within and around the village there are many beautiful walks within walking distance. A public boat takes you across the river to the famous Agatha Christie estate where many of her books were written. And a public boat ride down river adjoins the village to the historical town of Dartmouth with many Tudor buildings and even older castles.from Dartmouth the national trust coastal path runs both ways along the coast, looking out to sea.

Help
I am looking for help with childcare. To help from 9am for 5 hours a day on weekdays. To help give my seven year old breakfast, and play with him. The older two are fairly independent. To take the kids to the playground. And give them lunch. So I can go to my studio and do some work.
And to do the laundry- put the kids dirty cloths in the washing machine, hang them out to dry. Fold the clean cloths and put them back in drawers.
We have a cleaner come to the house weekly to do the cleaning so this is not expected of the Workaway.
The rest of the time the day and the weekends are yours to explore and spend as you please.
