Beschreibung
Seeking individuals for a short OR long-term commitment to provide assistance and companionship for my mother, who is coping with dementia. Our spacious and serene home, situated in the picturesque southern suburbs of Sydney (Caringbah South), offers a tranquil environment close to the bay and beautiful Cronulla beaches.
Our household includes two lively four-year-old dogs, Boo and Bear (Pomeranians), and two 12-year-old cats, Pippa and Nila. Our residence is surrounded by lush greenery, contributing to a peaceful atmosphere.
Transportation is convenient, with a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute drive to the Cronulla beaches. The train station is within a 20-40 minute walking distance, or a 7-minute drive, and buses are also available nearby. I have an available bike for use.
Our home features a saltwater pool with mineral salts (unheated) for those interested in a refreshing dip. Additionally, our water is entirely filtered through a "Complete Home Water Filtration" system, ensuring purity for showers, sinks, and laundry.
As an environmentally conscious individual, I strive for a plastic-free, decluttered, and inviting home. Organic and natural products are a staple, aligning with my passion for sustainable living. While my organic e-commerce shop is currently offline, I still have a variety of organic products throughout the house.
I'm also open to collaboration on restartingmy businesses they are all currently offline.
My father, a retired radiologist, and my 90-year-old mother, a retired primary school teacher from Boston, USA, appreciate good company. They no longer drive, and my mother, recovering from a hip replacement, enjoys activities like watching TV, doing crosswords, reading, and crafting. While the atmosphere may not always be perfectly serene, I take great care of them and prioritize their well-being.
Our home is equipped with solar panels, a worm farm for composting (where assistance is welcomed), rainwater tanks, and a small herb garden. Your contribution to our household is not only welcomed but valued as we strive to maintain a sustainable and harmonious living space.
Our house was built in the 70s and so it is not updated... slowly I am getting things replaced.. but the carpet for the upstairs is not good... we need a lot of help with cleaning.

Arbeit
Mum and Pop are in need of companionship and assistance with various tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and decluttering. We also require help with driving, and you're welcome to use our reliable car.
I'm also interested in receiving music lessons, specifically in piano, guitar, or advanced ukulele. Additionally, if you have massage skills, I have two massage machines that can be used on anyone here. And I love to have foot massages as they frequently are sore.. which is another reason we require help.
The expected hours for chores are as follows:
2-3 hours for cleaning, gardening and providing companionship/help to my parents.
1-2 for walking the dogs in the morning and afternoon. 1 hour morn, 1 hour afternoon.
1 hour for cooking (either lunch or dinner or both).
These tasks sum up to 5 hours a day, and the hours can be divided as needed. Music teaching, massage, healing, and assistance with computer/business matters will be considered as part of your overall hours.

Unterkunft
We offer two inviting guest rooms, one featuring a comfortable single bed the other has a double.
The larger room has been transformed into Pollie's craft room, serving as a backup for potential simultaneous workaways. Typically, we host one workaway at a time due to our current workload but currently looking for two people.
The smaller room, situated downstairs, boasts fresh paint, new floorboards, and a cozy single bed.
Our commitment to natural living is reflected in the organic and natural shampoos and soaps provided in the upstairs bathroom, along with natural laundry soap.
Smoking is not permitted, but vapes are acceptable.
If you possess skills in teaching yoga, business skills, or providing guitar/piano lessons, we encourage you to apply. Our diverse collection includes a piano, ukuleles, guitars, a mandolin, and a merlin.
When it comes to laundry, we kindly ask guests to arrive with clean laundry, considering it a resource for which we incur costs. Laundry services can be utilized after your first week of work.
