Description
Hi! We're a busy family of 5 living in a suburb close to central Wellington. I'm originally from Dunedin and Euan is British, but we've been settled in Wellington for over 10 years now. Our kids are aged 12, 9 and 7 years and are an energetic bunch. In our free time we enjoy mountain biking, swimming, netball and playing backyard football with the kids.

Help
We're looking for some help to tidy the house and garden, mainly painting, sweeping and weeding in the garden.
Would also love someone with some building/handyman experience to re-lay part of a deck, build a compost or a tree house for the kids!!

Accommodation
We have a 4 bed house and the spare is small single room. We are only able to host non-smokers.
What else ...
We live very close to central Wellington (takes about 40mins each way to walk but there are frequent buses for a quick trip too if you don't have transport) for all sorts of city sightseeing including Te Papa, Oriental Bay, Cuba Street... From the house its 10mins walk to Zealandia, 20mins to the cable car/botanic gardens and a 10 minute bike ride to Makara Peak mountain bike park.
Note - One of the children does have allergies and asthma, so we can't host a smoker and we don't have any eggs or nuts in the house (our main meals are also dairy free, but we do have dairy for breakfasts/lunches (and of course chocolate!)). No pets either...due to the allergy situation. Its not as dire as it sounds...we've had several overseas language students stay and all have been happy with the meals! :-)
