Description
Hi! We're a young family with two fun and lovely girls (age 7 and 4) who live in some of the most beautiful countryside of England.
Our home is a English country house with 3 acres of flowered gardens, a swimming pool and views of the hills. There are plenty of local towns and villages, and a nearby city. There is so much to do from walks, hiking, bike riding, shopping, city attractions, and countless other fun activities!

Au Pair Help

Help
We're looking for a solo helper, or a couple or two friends to come and help us with weekday, daytime childcare during the summer holidays - July and August. Evenings and weekends are entirely their own to enjoy the house and grounds, and anything else!
We're person / people we're looking for are ideally energetic, friendly, reliable, and kind.
During the day, with the girls, we encourage a trip out to an outdoor activity (weather allowing) / fun trip out, lunch, then some fun at home in afternoons... eg swimming in the pool, crafting, and just relaxing and having fun. As we both work full time we'd want the general running of the house taken care of with tasks such a general cleaning / food shopping and washing.
We would occasionally ask for evening of babysitting, which would involve bedtime, but the girls are old enough that this is actually a nice time!
We are of course happy to spend time sharing any skills from our respective work (marketing, and market research) and happy to explore and help with any other skills where we can.

Separate double bed studio flat with its own entrance and private patio.
Self contained and away from the main house this flat provides privacy, and a home away from home. It has its own access to the gardens and the swimming pool.
There is full internet, Smart TV, bathroom , oven and all amenities.
During the day food will be provided along with the childcare, and in the evening they are welcome to eat with the girls (food provided) or we will be happy to provide pay for personal food shopping if they prefer.
What else ...
We have two dogs that are extremely friendly, and the girls have lots of local friends so there is an opportunity to meet other people as well.
We will insure them on one of our family cars to help them get around both with childcare and on occasion they need it outside of helping hours.
