About Me
We are looking for someone to help us for 12-15 hours a week, looking after our 6.5 year old and 2 year old daughters, as well as cleaning the house to a high standard each week. Experience with Waldorf /Steiner based home educating would be a bonus too but not essential.
This person will grow with us as a family, be part of our family rhythms, and help me keep afloat!
We would love to find someone who can work with us for a long time, helping me to balance working from home & home educating.
We would prefer to have someone who is comfortable driving, as we live quite remotely.
Please note we have a (friendly) cocker spaniel.
If you feel a pull towards this post, then please do get in touch! We can’t wait to meet you.

Emily came to help us for a number of weeks. We homeschool our two daughters and I needed support with our house, including cleaning, and also childcare.
Emily was wonderful with our two girls and completely understood our approach to parenting, engaging the girls in creative and imaginative play and then quietly moving on to house tasks while keeping an eye on what the girls were up to.
I’ve never seen childcare like that, and I really appreciated someone else being able to encourage independent play like that (instead of simply entertaining them). She was also very invested in hearing more about our approach, and was flexible in her approaches, making little tweaks here and there to align more fully with our parenting style (though as I said, she was so aligned that not many tweaks were needed at all!).
Emily is also highly emotionally intelligent and didn’t bat an eyelid at emotional releases (/tantrums!) which created a sense of calm and security in the house.
Emily’s level of cleaning was superb, I doubt we will ever have such a clean house again!
I would be very happy to act as a reference for Emily’s work and am so grateful for her support.
