We are a family of 4

Husband is working on the farm alot, introvert, quiet, honest & kind
Both daughters are talkative, very active, love outdoors, loud, social, would play games all day & AMAZING!! hehe
We offer food/accomodation for help around the house. We have a beautiful home and large section with established gardens with many many plant varieties. We also currently have chickens and sometimes we have lambs.
Breakfast and dinner is supplied ONLY please bring your own items for lunch thankyou (use of kitchen obviously included)
General tasks are gardening, housework, cooking, hanging with the kids, and just integrading into our everyday life. If you have a specialty skill i will also hone in on that eg sewing or building or mosaic/art etc etc
We enjoy going for walks and swims

There is a stunning bushwalk right outside our door. And Geraldine is a lovely town to explore
Bonus if you speak german as id like our daughters to learn it and i speak german.
Please understand we are a family and also working so may have to change plans last minute. Life Happens. Sickness happens; things pop up unexpectidly 😁 Im usually pretty good at making things work last minute tho

If you are coming from Dunedin or Christchurch there is also the option to bus to "Orari" Town which is 5mins away and im happy to help with transport for people travelling in those directions
