Description
GENERAL PROFILE::
We are Brenda, Matt and Zepplan.
We have 2 beautiful dogs both Miniature Schnauzers who are used to being inside. We have chickens and 1 sheep .
Our home is set 5 minutes drive to motorway and nearest town, although it’s only 2 mins walk to local shop and bus stop. it’s about 40mins train to Auckland City. Our home has a swimming pool and lots of mature trees and lawn to relax. There is a native bush walk 2 mins down the road that the dogs love to wander in.
3 hours daily help expected:
.-simple daily chores done around the house.
Gardening and weeding
- painting fence in backyard
In return, you will share our beautiful home .
Good news: We have a big swimming pool and only 40mins to Auckland City. Trains leave from Pukekohe township to Auckland City regularly. There is a bus stop 2 mins down the road, but will need to check holiday timetable.
Our grown up children have done workaways in Europe, and our two sons are both in Canada exploring and working, so we would love to share it from the other side.
Looking forward to meeting you :-)
