  Description

  Welcome to Australia and to my corner of the world where my 2 children and I, a cat named Bailey and a cat named Kit call home.
  
  Currently available for females due to the children (sorry boys) And thank you for your understanding. 🙏
  
  There are many tasks that need my attention and while I work away at building my empire I would love to exchange a private room and cosy home for your help with all the little things that take time.
  
  My name is Antonella and amongst many things I am an artist running a couple of businesses from home. One of the businesses is face painting and running an agency of artists and entertainment for events and festivals. The other is blending organic herbal teas which I sell at markets and soon online.... I drink a lot of tea.
  
  My gorgeous, talkative and creative children are 13 and 14 years old and they also love to meet new people
  
  We are close to everything you may need but, totally immersed in nature and quietness. This is a tourist town that goes quiet in winter and really busy in summer. We are of course, heading to the quiet cold winter where you will need your winter comforts.
  
  I am fortunate to be about a 10 minute walk to the foreshore and local shops, cafe's and restaurants.
  
  If you want to venture into Melbourne there are buses that will take you to Frankston just over an hour away, where you can then get a train into Melbourne.
  
  I love good, healthy conscious eating, a good conversation on anything, taking lightly the days, meditating, yoga and simply enjoying this precious life. There is time for work, for play, for creating and, time also for silence and reflection. Drop me a line.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  I can teach you how to face paint so you can take it with you wherever you travel. Or we can make pasta together and l turn it into a lasagna or fettuccine. There are all sorts of dishes dishes to make. I will teach you about the herbs I have growing in my garden and the ones that I use in my blends and their benefits. How to tincture and dry herbs. We can make face cream as I have just learnt the process but yet to actually do my own batch. I am a beginner herbalist so I too am learning.

  THE EXCHANGE
  
  In exchange for hosting you in our home I ask for up to 5 hours of your time, generally Monday to Friday.
  
  You will have a private room with a double bed and all your linen. There is one shared bathroom although I have my own powder room. A fully equiped kitchen to cook anything and everything. A very spacious lounge room with room to dance, yoga, get fit or lay down and rest. There is also a desk you can make use of should you want to set up an area for you to use..
  
  We have internet. We don't watch Tv that often and usually it is a movie or documentary.
  
  I occasionally need to swap a weekday for a weekend or a morning for an evening so that someone is around for my teens as I go off to a gig. (not something that happens a lot)
  
  I would love a positively minded, can do attitude kind of person who considers themselves practical and organised and is willing to give things a go.
  
  What I would love for you to help me with;
  
  To prepare the evening meals at least 3 times a week ready for me or you to cook later in the day. If you have recipes you love or can follow a cook book we welcome this. Help with baking and large batch recipes for preserving. We love rich in iron foods and a rainbow plate of everything.
  
  Gardening: Weeding, preparing areas for planting winter greens and watering. Willing to learn if you have no experience. It is a humble garden that can use an extra pair of hands
  
  Assistance with keeping the house clean.
  
  I value open communication and honesty, cleanliness and order. I am flexible and love to chat and learn and create.
  An open, organised and tidy person would suit our household. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
  
  If this sounds like a home you would like drop me a line and let's get the conversation started.
  
  Namaste

  Autres infos...

  In your free time. We live in in the Mornington Peninsula where you are at the heart of the most stunning beaches and ocean. The ocean is something to respect as it is wild and can be ferocious. There are many walking tracks and bike adventures you can do. Horse riding to the ocean, and dolphin spotting are all close by. Buses are available to take you to all the other beachside towns. It takes about 1 17 minutes by bus from Rye to the nearest train station in Frankston.
  
  As I work from home there will be times I need the house to be quiet. Otherwise I am happy for you to enjoy the space. We rarely put the TV on unless it is for a movie at night or the kids are watching a show for some down time.
