About Me
We are a friendly and welcoming family living in a beautiful village in Oxfordshire, close to Banbury. Our family consists of Mum, Dad and our twin toddlers, Wilfred and Lily, who are happy, curious and energetic little people who love being outdoors, exploring, reading books and learning new things.
We are looking for someone kind, reliable and proactive to become an important part of our family life. We value warmth, honesty, good communication and a positive attitude. Our home is busy but relaxed, and we are keen to find someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with children and takes pride in helping a household run smoothly.
We love spending time outdoors, visiting parks and gardens, travelling, and making the most of family life. We are looking for someone who shares these values and would enjoy building a strong relationship with our children while supporting us with the day-to-day aspects of family life.
