Description

I am Lucy.A 42 year old Scottish born solo mother of 3 young children. Two girls, one boy.
We live in a leafy, suburban area of West Auckland called Titirangi.
We deliberately bought a large home so we can have guests to stay.
We have a self contained apartment we let out as a holiday home so there is lays lots of cleaning, gardening, repairs and maintenance to be done.
We are friendly, sociable fun and a pretty stereotypical example of a busy kiwi family.
We enjoy getting to know new people, learning about other languages and cultures and helping you discover ours.
Our homestays join in as much as they want with our family life and social activities. We go to the beach, visit friends around New Zealand, and get involved in our local community activities.
We have Wifi, a big garden, bikes, camping equipment and if you are over 25 you can probably borrow the car.

Région

West auckland. 20 minutes drive from downtown auckland, 20 minutes drive from the wild west coast beaches such as Piha and Kare Kare. The train station is 10 mins walk away(we have an old bike if you want to speed things up) There is a bus stop 5 minutes away. Within walking distance is the pretty village of Titirangi. Lots of funky cafes with alfresco dining, art galleries and some intersting shops. We have a big mall and the usual town centre amenities not too far from us. You are welcome to catch a lift o we can direct you to the public transport options.

Travail

We have a large home ,7 bedrooms and a big garden.
I work from home mainly and i don't get a lot of spare time for extra things so there is always lots to be done.
Painting, gardening, small repairs, cleaning and general domestic stuff.
We have a tree house for the kids that needs finished, some landscaping and lots of painting to be done so someone experienced in those skills can have a project.
General and specialist Computer skills will be put to good use to.
On a day to day basis though what we appreciate most is just an extra pair of hands to assist at dinner and other busy times, help in the kitchen and to keep on top of day to day household tasks.
Our perfect combination is a couple. A handy and practical pair who can work as a team and keep each other company
