    Description

    We are a family of 5 living in the beautiful, wild Herekino, located 25 minutes from Kaitaia in the Far North.

    We have a beef farm and also run a few sheep. Our eldest son is 7 and loves learning about and exploring this world. Our daughter has just turned 5 and enjoys school, climbing and playing with dolls. Our youngest is almost 3. He is a real little farm boy, loving animals and helping his Dad and Mum on the farm. We would love some help with our household , garden and family life. You can expect to help with gardening, general household maintenance, childcare, housework and cooking. Experience isn't necessarily required, but a good attitude and a willingness to learn and work hard is. *You will not be required to do any farm work.

    When not working on our farm, we like to take little adventures around the area and enjoy our local beaches and we'd love to share these with you. The fishing and diving is amazing too. We love to meet new people and learn about different cultures and share our own.

    We can't wait to meet you!
