Description
We are an urban-based couple with strong community connections who enjoy being out in nature and meeting new people.We are a rainbow friendly home, often with four generational family gatherings. So it is either full and busy or quiet and still - not often in between.
We are currently renovating our garden and would love to have some additional help to speed the process up. Our home has a self-contained flat downstairs and we would love to meet new people from around the world.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds so you would have plenty of opportunities to talk with us about our experiences and we would love to hear about yours.
We are close (25 mins drive/bus) to the city so you can explore Auckland with ease whilst also seeing small projects completed and making new friends.
We are both teachers by nature (and career) so we are happy to teach you new DIY skills, cooking ideas and gardening tips along the way.
Help
The kinds of work we would like help with are gardening and small outdoor creative projects including some painting , maintenance and DIY. Maybe also some food preparation.
