Thank you for reading our ad! I (Paul), Lorna and Max live on a houseboat on a private Island on the Thames, It really is a very special place totally like no other.
Both of us run our own companies and hence work pretty crazy hours and managing to keep on top of running the houseboat and look after Max is proving to be a challenge, hence we need some help from a House Keeper to help things ship shape (sorry could help it…)

Managing expenses claims
Filling in forms and helping with general life and house admin.
Filling of post and paperwork
Internet research as required
Dropping us off and picking up in the car as required, drop off at station etc.
