Description
About us:
We are a young Australian family (Stefan and Bronte) with 2 year old daughter, a 4 year old son and a newborn baby girl. We are vegetarian, lefties, progressive, science focused, and LGBT friendly house hold.
Our house is a busy and hectic one at the moment with the kids! If you love young kids, and a family environment this is the place for you. In saying this we have a caravan that is fully self contained with kitchen, aircon, shower, lounge and toilet. So you would have your own peaceful space to look out into the rainforest.
Our Work and hobbies:
Our background is science in the fields Marine Biology and Ecology but currently Stefan works at a local school as a teacher and Bronte is staying at home looking after the kids. We are homebodies, we love hanging out in the garden with our kids and animals. Other things we enjoy are walks in nature looking for animals and at plants, gardening, hanging out with our family and friends.
About our Home stay:
We both love animals which is why we have a couple!
Our Animals:
2 Turkeys
2 Muscovy ducks
2 Muscovy Ducklings
4 Cats
1 Chicken
1 Border Collie
We are seeking someone to help who:
~Can help Bronte with daily cleaning chores around the house.
~Someone who loves kids, who doesn't mind doing a bit of child care while Bronte is doing cleaning around the house.
~A kind hearted animal lover to help us with the care of our animals.
Because we have 3 young children our house hold is a quiet (aside from the noise the kids make), safe and peaceful place for non- partiers. We are a non smoking house hold.Types of help and learning opportunities
