  Descripción

  Hi, I am Chloe and I live in Frome in beautiful Somerset, South West England. I live with my 10 year old son Xavier who loves Lego, martial arts, computer games and playing outside with his friends. We live in a lovely cottage in a small and friendly cul-de-sac with neighbours and other children frequently popping in.
  We are a neurodivergent family and so our routines and day to day living are not always fixed. Some people call it organised chaos! But we are friendly and welcoming. My son is at school during the week and I work part-time at a local community sauna and hold womens circles. I also have chronic health difficulties which affects my enegy levels. I am looking for workaways who can help out with school pick-ups, general childcare, cooking and light cleaning around the house. Childcare will include babysitting at least one night a week and possibly the occasional weekend. I need someone dependable, proactive and flexible. You need to be okay with screens being on a lot of the time as that is a way in which my son regulates himself but also have firm boundaries.
  I am ideally looking for a Workaway that can stay for at least one month and help woth the day to day routines of running a househpld. The house is going on the markey soon so needs to be kept clean and organised. You need to be fluent enough in English to spend time with my son and confident enough to get him to bed! Please ensure that you have all the correct visas and travel documents for coming to the UK.
  You will be expected to help out for 20 -25 hours per week and we can work out a schedule that works for everyone. There will be occasional weekend support needed which we will work out together in advance and which will not add any additional hours.
  Frome is a small town with an alternative edge close to the towns of Bath, Bristol and Glastonbury. It is a mixture of heritage and modern. There is always a lot going on. I welcome digital nomads. This is a great exchange opportunity for someone who works remotely and wants to experience the UK or someone who genuinely loves kids, housekeeping and organisation.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  Frome is a great place to come on cultural exchange as there is a lot going on. A workaway will get to experience living in a small and friendly community town which is typical of the English countryside. There are lots of historic sites to visit nearby and it is possible to get out for walks as well. Frome has good transport links to the towns of Bath and Bristol and the iconic town of Glastonbury is nearby.
  In Frome there are lots of community events happening, gyms, yoga classes, meditation etc. I can also offer a bike to workaways if they like to cycle and explore.
  I love speaking different languages (I speak some French and Portuguese) and am happy to help travellers with their English language if needed. There will also be the opportunity to gain experience of working with children and cooking/meal planning.

  Alojamiento

  Travellers will stay in the summer house at the bottom of my garden and use all the facilites in the house. They will share the bathroom, kitchen and living room with me and my son. Food for meals will be provided and planned together. I will provide the basics and workaways will be expected to buy any additional snacks and drinks and more expensive items that they want.

  Algo más...

  Frome is a great place to stay. We have quite an alternative community and there are plenty of yoga classes, meditation sessions, ecstatic dances and other workshops happening all the time. We have a small market in town every Wednesday and Saturday and a big market for independent sellers once a month. The house is just 5 minutes from Frome train station where there is also a curry place, pizza place, community venue and bar running on the weekends. We are about 12 minutes walk from the town centre and there are two large supermarkets close by to buy food. Towns nearby include Bruton, Bath and Bristol which are accessible by regular train and buses. There are also nearby country walks to enjoy and Workaways are welcome to use my pedal bike to get around if they wish.
  In my home I expect people to be respectful and age appropriate around my son. Also to respect our need for quiet evenings so no parties or late night guests. This is a non-smoking home.
