Description
Hello!
I am a single Mum to 3 teenagers 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 highland x cows & 8 chooks
We live 400kms from Melbourne (1/2 way to Adelaide) in beautiful quiet rural Victoria.
I run a catering business, work for a bank, teach at Tafe, and have a first aid business.
I am looking for someone who is happy to help around the house - cleaning & gardening.
In return I can offer food and board (own room), wi-fi, fun times, a peaceful bush setting, and possibly some pocket money.
Depending on your skills there may also be some farm tasks available.
Just remember we live in rural Victoria and are quite remote - it's 40kms to town and you can't see another house from our place! :D

House Cleaning
Painting
Renovations
Gardening & fencing
Cooking
Helping to look after the Animals
We are interested in sharing our lifestyle with travellers so I can show my children how big the world really is... And to show travelers how welcoming Australians are :)
