Experience family life in rural Somerset, England, UK

  Description

  I am a film producer and working mum of two lovely girls living in rural Somerset near Glastonbury festival. My husband works away a lot and I work from our home. I'd like to offer a cultural exchange to someone and they will get to spend time with me and my family. I'm looking for a volunteer to help look after my three year old after her nursery breaks up in June. In the evenings we all eat together and then put the children to bed and often watch a film or I finish work I haven't managed to do during the day. We can be flexible with hours off and on but think it would be good to have a clear plan so both sides understand expectations.
  
  We're a bus ride away from Glastonbury town (and very near the festival), Shepton Mallet, Wells, Bristol and Bath if you're interested in exploring the South West of England. We're home most weekends and do not need you to be there unless you want to be.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We live in a lovely village near Glastonbury town and festival. Our lovely home is in a rural setting with a great view of Glastonbury Tor and ideal for those interested in nature, arts, music and ancient wisdom. There is a nearby bus stop which can get you to the local towns Glastonbury, Wells and Shepton Mallet and to the cities like Bath and Bristol which are both about an hour away. The local community is made up of farmers, hippies and creative types and it's a friendly place with a great food scene and it's easy to find live music if you want a night out.

  Aide

  The main time I need help is getting the girls up and off to school and then someone to play with my three yer old in the summer holidays, when my 5 year old is still at school. Also grateful for any help at bedtime when my husband is a way. Our needs change depending on our work so flexibility would be appreciated but we can agree hours a week or two in advance. The girls love art, cooking, music and nature

  I speak English and very basic French and would love the girls to learn French or Spanish.

  Hébergement

  A large double bedroom looking out on to a beautiful garden. The bathroom is shared with the family.
  
  The workawayer will eat with the family. My husband works away during the week so meals will mainly be with me and my two girls Wren and River. I cook most things from scratch - and we try to be as healthy as we can.

  Autres infos...

  We're in a pretty rural location about 3 miles from Glastonbury Town and an easy walk to Glastonbury Tor and Chalice Wells Springs. There's live music in Glastonbury and some lovely market towns (Bruton, Frome, Castle Cary, Shepton Mallet, Wells) nearby to explore as well as cities like Bath and Bristol within an hour. But please be aware this is in a countryside location - you can take a bus but they only go once an hour and it will take time to get around by bus.
  It's a great place to walk, cycle and it's a generous community with a focus on sustainable living (I do my best but I'm not perfect!)
