A couple from America are offering you the chance to travel with them for a whole year – but it comes with one tiny catch.

Derek and Kenzie Tillotson are looking for a nanny and homeschooler who will travel with them as they embark on a round-the-world adventure this July.

With the promise they’ll foot the bill for all flights, food and accommodation while on the trip – plus an actual wage (between $2000 – 2,500 a month) – people have been scrambling to apply for this amazing opportunity.

The only catch is that to earn that money, the lucky candidate will be in charge of looking after the couple’s three children: Porter, Beckett and Wren.

They’ll begin their journey in New York City this July, before heading across to Europe.

There will be a short break for Christmas, then heading to New Zealand, Hawaii, Asia, and basically anywhere then in summer.

Derek and Kenzie are funding their trip by selling their home in Utah, United States, but will continue to run their business remotely – meaning they need someone who

can watch the kiddies as they do so.

“We are not promising any specific destination, as our travel will be dictated by ticket prices, room prices, weather, visa requirements, and whims of fancy,” Kenzie explained.

“You’ll be an honorary member of the family and will be treated with respect and be able to voice your opinion.”

And while general applications are now closed for the role, you can register on the waiting list if this sounds up your street.
