About Me
We are a family of four who relocated to West Somerset a year ago. We live in a rural location and have a dog, cat and some chickens. Our sons are 2 and a half and 15 months. We enjoy being outside and and moved for this reason. We are looking for someone who also enjoys being outdoors even when it’s wet! We would like to find someone who organises a varied week of activities for our boys, and helps their key development. The children love going on walks, splashing in puddles, and exploring the countryside. They also love arts and crafts, baking, playing with their toys and going on days out to the beach or local farms, (in less Covid restricted times). Our home is being slowly renovated but there is plenty of room for the children to play in. They have their own large wooden play park in the garden. We also have an outdoor heated swimming pool which is open in the summer months and the children love to use.
Our eldest son attends a local private nursery 2 days a week. He loves to be busy. He is very inquisitive, and chatty. He speaks well but is not yet potty trained. He likes to be independent and doesn’t mind to play on his own or with other children. Our younger son is a very happy little boy, and is just on the edge of starting to walk. He’s very content and calm. He loves to play and be involved in whatever his older brother is doing.
