Description
I am a local to Southampton having grown up nearby, My husband is from Perth Australia. We live in Southampton and love the area. We have a boy and 3 girls who are 11,9,7 and 4. We have just returned from 5 months in Australia. I work full time as a doctor and my husband looks after the children and volunteers with community projects and at Above Bar Church. There is so many lovely outdoor places to visit near us so that although opportunities are different in 2020 with covid 19 its still a great place to be.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Southampton and the local area is a fantastic part of the world with great places to visit, lots of history and a great outdoor opportunities. We regularly go to the beach, on walks in the countryside especially the new forest and get involved in local activities and would love if you wanted to join in with these with us. My australian husband has an interest in this kind of local history. We would be happy to support learning English but we have little language skills so reasonable English would be essential. We are Christians and have a dynamic church and get involved in local church activities which included food bank and community support for people through covid. We would be happy to have someone travelling with a child/children.
Aide
We are looking for flexible support for childcare for our 4 children about 20 hours per week inc some evenings and help jobs around the house. Childcare will be varied in times between some or all the children days and evenings. Around the house jobs may include cleaning and washing. We have some building work ongoing so it can get messy/chaotic. We are happy to be flexible to negotiate days needed for you to travel around and explore.

I stayed with this great family for two weeks and I’d love to come back soon. Susan and John are really friendly and open-minded people and I liked every moment with them. The kids are so special and it was hard to say goodbye to them. It was my first experience as a workawayer and it was really beyond expectations.

Susan and John and the Leaver kiddos opened their home and their hearts to me. They taught me loads and shared so much more than a room and board. They shared their favorite places, experiences, and lovely friends. They were flexible when my 1 month turned into 6 and they have been caring and supportive beyond my time with them. The kiddos have… read more
