We are Bryan and Anne,
We have been together for 13 years and have worked together as a team for nearly 14 years, we just love being in each other’s company.
Our earlier years of working together has included owning and running a cycle shop and internet business.
For the last 6 years we have have enjoyed working as a live in domestic couple for professional businessmen.
For 3 years we had sole charge, running and looking after house and estate for a single businessman who spent a lot of time away from home.
This included security, shopping, paying bills, cooking, cleaning, laundry, garden maintenance, household and machinery repairs, decorating, occasional chauffeuring, car cleaning, party organizing, pool maintenance and managing tradesman..... Sadly this position ended when our employer retired and moved into smaller premises.
The last 3 years until the end of February 2010 have been in a position of Handyman and Housekeeper. This was looking after for a large, listed 8 bedroom house and estate in Hertfordshire for a professional businessman and his family. Anne did all the housework, washing and ironing. Anne also looks after house, cats and dogs when owners away.
Bryan repaired things when broken, from pool vacuum to rotten window frames, Looked after security, drove employer or wife when required, cut logs, maintained outbuildings, mowing of paddocks, looking after equipment, generally keeping things tidy and was always on hand to assist with deliveries or anything else when required.

We are both fit and enjoy life with a good sense of humour, friendly attitude and are both able to use our own initiative if and when required.
We are very caring, discrete, flexible, dependable, reliable, loyal and trustworthy; as our references will verify, we also have fully enchanced CRB certificates.
As live in employees we are used to looking after properties and pets whilst owners away.
Anne is experienced in all aspects of household cleaning, washing, ironing, polishing etc, can cook family meals and follow recipes.
If and when Anne is required outside, then getting her hands dirty is no problem.
Anne also has prior experience as hands on supervisor in a large office complex for a commercial cleaning company.

Bryan is very handy to have around and enjoys doing electrical repairs, plumbing, driving, car valeting, pool and pond maintenance, garden maintenance, domestic appliance repairs, mowing, tractor driving, machinery maintenance, interior and exterior decorating.
Bryan started his working life on a dairy farm and has spent most of his previous working life fault finding and repairing electro mechanical machinery in a factory as part of a team and then on own as field service engineer in customers’ homes, shops and pubs.
We are both experienced with children, Bryan has a boy and girl who are now in their 30's. Anne spent her childhood and teenage years sharing her home with foster children, her parents have recently been awarded an M.B.E. for foster caring.

We are now available and looking for a long term position, hopefully to take Bryan into retirement and possibly beyond.
We prefer rural and love animals, we have no dependants but do have a small, well behaved cat, therefore can relocate anywhere.
