Description
We are a warm, close-knit Christian vegetarian family of five living in a beautiful village near Bedford, overlooking a scenic country park. Family life is busy, joyful, and full of creativity, music, and good food. We especially enjoy cooking, playing live music, spending time outdoors, and sharing life with others.
Leon, my husband, is a teacher, and I work part-time in the creative arts while also caring for our three energetic boys — 7-year-old twins and our youngest, who is 5. The children love being outside and spend lots of time in the garden, at the park, or exploring nature. They also enjoy arts and crafts, reading, imaginative play, and spending time with people.
Our area offers plenty of opportunities for walking and cycling, with lovely routes along the River Great Ouse into Bedford town centre. We are also ideally located for exploring the UK — just one hour from London with easy access to Cambridge as well. We travel into London fairly often and are usually happy to offer a lift when possible.
During the week, the older boys are at school and the youngest attends nursery part-time. We are looking for someone who would enjoy becoming part of our family life and helping with day-to-day tasks such as household chores, food preparation, childcare, and general support around the home.
We have been part of the Workaway community for the past four years and have really enjoyed welcoming people from different backgrounds into our home. The experience has brought wonderful friendships and cultural exchange to our family life.
Our home can be lively and chaotic at times, but it is also loving, welcoming, bubbly, and full of laughter. We would love to host someone who is kind, positive, adaptable, and happy to join in with family life. -

If you are interested in music this might be a stay of particular interest to you. We are both musicians and between us play: piano, clarinet, saxophone, guitar, organ, drums and sing. Leon also works as a music teacher. We welcome those who would like to join in with the music!
We are also vegetarian/vegan cooking and love experimenting with new recipes. We consider ourselves to be good cooks:) -

We value having time together but also understand that with such a young family, you will also need time by yourself! Cambridge is accessible by bus and there is a direct train line to London, taking less than about an hour sometimes less.

She is the first ever workaway to give us a presentation about her home town! It was great😀.
We wish Elena all the best with her travels!
I spent 5 weeks with Anthea, Leon and their three boys.
They are warm, kind and made me feel at home from the first day.
I mainly helped with the children and some light housework. Such a positive and enriching experience – highly recommended! ❤️
She had more energy than some younger people half her age and enjoyed really long country walks.
Our family wholeheartedly recommend Kveta and wish her all the best for the future. Thank you Kveta!
