  • Description

    Description

    Family home in a rural area would love to welcome somebody who is happy to lend an extra pair of hands with children and who is not afraid to get involved!

    Daily tasks might include school drops and preparing children meals. There would be lots of free time. Our children are only home for two weeks at a time and away for two. It’s all or nothing!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are on the Shropshire/Powys border, just inside Wales. It is a rural location but only 20 minutes from Shrewsbury with great transport links from there. We have a pub at the end of the drive, they are our nearest neighbours (apart from cows). We can help you explore the local area, it’s a great spot if you like hiking, we can also help with language skills. We’d like our work away guests to consider themselves one of the family.

    Help

    We are looking for somebody who is happy to jump in and be part of the family. Light meal preparation for the children occasionally - ideally somebody who can drive and is happy to do the occasional school run. You’ll need lots of energy and the desire to become ‘one of the family’ for the time you are with us.
