Description
We have beef and dairy farms just out of Bulls.
We have 4 children (13, 12, 10 and 9) a number of pets and a large garden and home that would be very grateful for some attention and assistance.
We would love some help in the garden and around the house! Also to help with looking after the children!
Jobs could include - garden maintenance, helping with feeding animals, cleaning windows, washing the house (outside), weeding in the garden, mowing lawns, pulling thistles, tiding up sheds, gardening.
We have a bedroom off our garage and bathroom for you to use. Or possibly a cottage if you wanted to be a bit more self sufficient.
4-5 hours work a day will give you meals and board.
There is lots to do near here, 10 mins from the beach and river, 2 hours from the ski fields, 2 hours from Wellington, Taranaki, Hawkes Bay and Taupo.
We would prefer a couple mid-late 20's or older, you must have your own vehicle.
