Description
We are a family of 4 that includes Philip and me and our two sons aged 23 and 25. Now, only Reuben 24, Jericho 26 and I live in our house. Philip lives in a nursing care home.
We live in Sandringham, Auckland which is 15-20 minutes from city and beach by bike, which we mostly use for transport. We have some spare ones for workawayers to use. There is also bus and train.
I am vegetarian. My sons cook separately from me. I prefer to have a workaway who can cook vegetarian and is happy to share the cooking with me.
I need help with garden (permaculture) and inside house. Whatever skills you may have, I would try to match with a project. From time to time there is house painting and other DIY projects. I really like it if someone has DIY skills to fix or build simple structures for the garden.
I will always choose a person with DIY skills, as can always find things to fix or make. I usually take singles, but if one of a couple has DIY skills I will be happy to have them.
We have had many workaways in the past and enjoy having guests from other countries to stay.Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre

Cindy is an impressive woman! There is absolutely nothing she can't handle. She has been our first Workaway host and we had a fantastic time in her home. She made us feel very welcomed and the work wasn't too hard. We especially enjoyed building the grapevine.
