Hi,
We are Yvonne & Danny.
Our lush home is located on the beautiful central Gold Coast, in a suburb called Carrara. We are close to the theme parks, the beach, and our stunning national parks. We have a large, modern 4 bedroom home, beautiful gardens, and a great pool to enjoy.
Yvonne was born and raised in Germany, but moved to Australia 16 years ago. She works full-time in corporate IT, is a meditation teacher, and currently completing a master certification in meditation therapy / holistic counselling. She works from home most days with one day per week in the office. Danny grew up in Canberra and has been living in the Northern Rivers / Gold Coast area for 20+ years. He runs his own landscape construction business and is usually out during the day for work.
Leon, our small dog, is 14 years old and very affectionate. Mostly a professional sleeper, but he loves cuddles and would spend all day on a lap getting belly rubs if he could. Our second dog, Czar is 3 years old, she suffers from high level anxiety, but is very sweet once she knows you.
Zac, our housemate, is an easy going dude in his mid 30s. He's a swimming teacher / child educator.
In our free time, we love doing yoga, travelling, hiking, camping, healthy food, going to the beach, cultural events such as exhibitions, concerns, theatre, and shows, or simply relaxing. We enjoy welcoming people to our house as long as they are respectful, friendly, and willing to contribute to the household.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

Having lived in the area (between Northern Rivers and Brisbane) for many years we are able to provide you with lots of great insider tips. We offer to take you to secluded beaches, waterfalls, swim holes, markets, camping, hiking, to see kangaroos' and koalas etc. Yvonne speaks fluent German and English, is able to teach out meditation and yoga. Danny is a great teacher in all things plants & building.
Ayuda
The help we need is mainly around the gardens and general housework. Garden tasks includes mowing, whipper snipper, cutting palm leaves, weeding, clearing gutters, mulching, planting and developing veggie pats and garden beds, and we would love to build a chook pen to house chickens. House tasks includes, general cleaning, laundry, cooking. Also, we need someone who is happy to look after and cuddle with Leon & Czar when we go out.

I felt like home from the first minute.
