  Descrição

  Hello,
  
  We are a family of five; myself, my wife, our 3 year old daughter Mili, our son Otto (10 months), and our Collie/ Kelpie pup, Bella. Our home is in a rural village in Dorset (in the UK). It's within the "Piddle Valley". (Please note there is v limited access to towns through public transport)
  
  We live next door to my parents, keep a big vegetable garden in the paddock between the houses and there are also chickens, and ducks being kept there too.
  
  Before the paddock, there's a big lawn and my parents maintain a beautiful English garden with flower beds and shrubs, bedding plants and lots of roses. In spring the daffodils are out in force, and the garden evolves as the year progresses.
  
  Our main task for the work away person or people is to have someone to help my wife with the children and the home. We'd ask for five hours a day during the weekdays, and weekends are off.
  
  Most of the work will be home and child centric. If you are a a couple, and couples do work quite well. The work is - keeping the house tidy, basic cleaning, washing, playing with / looking after the kids, and working in the garden. In short, my wife and I need help keeping things ticking over in our simple life.
  
  An important point to note is that we're in a rural village, there are no transport links, so we'll either put you on our car insurance, so that you can drive, or you will need to rely on us for lifts. Either way, its best that you are happy in the countryside, and comfortable in this kind of environment. : )
  
  People with driving licenses (that can drive in the UK) are helpful.
  
  We eat a mix of food, and provide food for you as well. If you're a couple we will probably ask you to do your own cooking in your apartment, and if you're alone then we'll aim to cook you lunch, and you'll cook your breakfast and dinner.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Cultural exchange options are there although time can be slightly limited within the busy lives of young families!
  
  My wife is Manipuri, a north eastern state in India, and so you can get to know more about Manipuri's / Indians, there food etc. She's coming every day, so this is an easy one.
  
  My wife and mother spend lots of time in the vegetable garden, so there's lots to learn on that front.
  
  My parents are good English folk, traditional and proper! You can learn about keeping the non-veg garden with my father if and when you help there.
  
  My wife is a keen yoga instructor, and we are both keen on spiritual practices.
  
  I am a huge walker and eagerly walk and run around the beautiful Dorset countryside.
  I love a wild swim too, and head out for wild swims to the coast and rivers in the summer quite regularly. I also run a tech business and can share thoughts, or give you some experience around that, if you're interested
  
  We're a well read family, so there's always a book around, and now the dog as well, if you're a canine purveyor! She's super bright and will adore the attention, and learning, if you are keen to try your hand at training. ; )

  You will be staying in a ground floor studio flat which was the old dairy. It's a large open plan room with a double bed, a separate bathroom with shower and sink plus a small kitchen with an electric oven, hob and microwave. It has a terrace outside as well. (see photos in the profile)

  Algo mais...

  The place is in Central Dorset, and has some beautiful countryside and coast - for walking, running, cycling etc
  Our place is peaceful and quiet, there is very limited local bus transport, so a car or a driving license is important, if not critical
