Description
Hello :)
I am excited to meet you!
I am a single mum (have an out of home partner) with 2 little boys, 6 years and 8.5 years. They are energetic and very smart. Great to chat with and to go on outings and adventures.
As a workaway, you will be invited to spend time with us at family dinners, going to the club to watch a sports game, visiting the zoo or koala park or journeys to the city. We also like to go for big walks and you are welcome to join us there too as well as church.
You need to have experience with children as you will be required to look after a few children for a day or two a week as part of our arrangement. A school teacher, qualified day care worker or person with lots of experience with children would suit us.
As well as looking after children, you would be required to clean toilets and bathrooms, mop the floor, hang out the washing and folding washing when dry, cleaning the dishes, and other things to accrue your weekly hours.
Basically you'll need to do house help on a daily basis. It is ideal if I don't have to remind you to do the daily chores and that you are self motivated.
It would be lovely for you to cook one meal a week for the whole family and make enough for some left overs for another night.
Along with your interest in the position, please add some recipes of what you like to eat and cook please. I guess if you do this it means you have read the profile and are a great communicator.
I do not have WI-FI in the house.
Not enough space for couples. Only fits one person.
Ideally you can stay for 2 to 3 months.
The food I can supply for you will be bread and cereal and a main dinner meal 4 nights a week. I will also supply some frozen meals for the other 3 nights for you to heat in a pan.Types of help and learning opportunities

We're Australian and live near Coogee beach, about 2km away.
We are a healthy family and love an outdoor lifestyle.
You are always welcome to join us on family outings or social gatherings.
A sit down, home cooked meal provided by me is offered regularly for you to join us.Projects involving children

Help
My boys are learning French so you speaking French is a big bonus.
You'd help 23 hours to cover your room and food per week.
Most of the help includes cleaning and organising. Normal household duties as stated above. You will be expected to help for a minimum of 3 hours on your first day.
Some nights you will be expected to look after the boys but most nights are yours to do what you like.
You can use the space as a base for travelling, as long as you've completed your choirs for the week.Languages

Your own private room with a single bed.

Most of your food will be provided. We keep a healthy focus on the diet. The boys don't eat junk food (macdonalds, chocolates, ice creams etc...). You can eat these food privately.
On the nights I cook your food it would be nice that you sit at the table with us to enjoy the meal together.
The house can be noisy sometimes as, the house is shared with another business during the day, so it really suits you if you enjoy being outdoors during the day.What else ...

It was nerve wracking for me to have new people in my home, but no problem at all with Lucy.
I found Lucy was very helpful around the kitchen and with other house hold duties. She joined us on family outings, which was really nice.
