Reduced: Au Pair-Style Role, Family Home, Surbiton

Warm, Calm Family Home in Surbiton – Furnished Room at Reduced Rent (Au Pair–Style Support)

I’m offering a furnished room in a calm, friendly, and respectful family home in Surbiton, at a significantly reduced rent, in exchange for light household support and help with daily routines. The arrangement is similar in nature to an au pair setup, built on mutual respect, clarity, and good communication.

This is not a full-time childcare or employment role. The support is modest, structured, and agreed in advance, with an expected contribution of around 4 hours per day, spread flexibly across the day.

Typical support may include:

Helping with the children’s routines at agreed times

Light cleaning and tidying of shared spaces

Simple household help (keeping things organised, general support around the home)

Being a reliable, responsible, and positive presence in the household

This arrangement would suit:

A student or trainee

Someone with an interest in childcare or family settings

An au pair–type candidate

Anyone looking for very affordable accommodation in exchange for time rather than money

Key details:

Rent: £200 per month (all bills included)

Room available from: 14 February

Approx. time contribution: around 4 hours per day (flexible, agreed in advance)

Clear boundaries and expectations, with a written arrangement

References required

DBS check preferred (or willingness to obtain one)

This is a quiet, caring, and stable home, and I’m looking for someone kind, dependable, and mature who enjoys a structured environment and values open, respectful communication.

If this sounds like a good fit, please get in touch with a short introduction about yourself, your background, and why this type of arrangement would work well for you.
