Projekte mit Kindern
Dieses Projekt schließt möglicherweise den Umgang mit Kindern ein. Mehr Informationen findest du in unseren Verhaltensregeln und Tipps hier.
Arbeit
Mostly gardening, cleaning windows, some household help perhaps usually we try and find some tasks that match the skills of the helpers eg fixing things or building garden beds or building an art project for the garden. All farm work is done by ourselves or paid workers but we are happy to show you our working farm in action.

There is plenty of walkways in Cheviot and we live beside the beautiful Napenape beach so plenty of wildlife to see such as seals, sea birds (sometimes a penguin if you are very lucky) There is great diving off the beach for seafood.

Antoine stayed with us for about 2 weeks. He was so easy to have around. He learnt how to prune feijoa trees and he did a wonderful job. He was able to work independently on this. He was keen to have a go at everything. He was enthusiastic and great to have around. I highly recommend him as a helper. best wishes for the rest of your trip Antoine!
