Beschreibung
Hello, I am Smokey.....a dashing, intelligent, sensitive, kind, caring,compassionate and handsome German Shepard belonging to The family. My humans are Smyth and David and we live outside of Blenheim . Smyth is a stay at home mum about to start her Masters( she is wonderful, funny and kind) and David is a farmer( he seems a bit gruff but Smyth assures me he is good and my instincts do tell me she is right). They have four children ages 19-9. They unschool, so perhaps familiarise yourself with this lifestyle (as they've had 2 WOOFER'S that were quite disapproving of the families philosophy and to be honest, Smyth has enough work to do and would prefer a judgement free environment to do it in). They normally like to take day trips, hike, and swim and sometimes I am able to accompany them. We live on a 5 acre lifestyle block in the top of the South Island where we share our home with 7 other dogs, a horse, a pig and 5 cats.We are a 10 minute bike ride into town and a two minute walk to the Wairau river where I especially love to go and swim!
They lease two farms where they farm sheep, cows and crops. One of their farms is near Nelson and is on the coast. They have kayaks and a private beach that we like to swim and boogey board at. There is a surfing beach down the way. There is a house and a self contained cottage that they use for our guests.
Smyth is looking for a Mannie for the two youngest boys. She is aware that this paints her in a "sexist" light, but this is what the boys have requested and what has worked best in the past. Our situation at the moment is unique as Smyth and David's 12 year old son has ME, otherwise known as Chronic Fatigue. Normally an active boy who enjoyed surfing, camping and motorbiking, he spends 23/24 hours in bed. So while we were originally looking for a laid back young man that enjoys hiking, camping, swimming and sports, we are probably looking for someone who also enjoys more indoor activities such as watching movies, video games and playing boardgames. If you do not like kids, this isn't the gig for you.

Learning about farming is a possibility as David is a farmer. We lease two farms. The first, a 3,000 acre farm 20 minutes outside of Blenheim.The second, a coastal farm one hour and twenty minutes away.

Arbeit
I am looking for someone to help Smyth with the two younger boys(9 and 12). Playing games, going for walks and bike rides, reading (one of the children is severely dyslexic and is very self conscious of this fact so Smyth will appreciate sensitivity when interacting with him).

Unterkunft
We live in a two story open plan 5 bedroom two bathroom house. The guest house has a double bed and sofa. We are a family of half vegetarian, half meat eaters and Smyth hates to cook as no one appreciates her skills in the kitchen....I personally LOVE Smyths cooking....it's not her fault the children and David have the palettes of donkeys!!! .
Was noch ...
We have a bike you are welcome to if you would like to go into town. Otherwise, Smyth and the children will enjoy taking you to different places:) If you would like, I am usually free, so perhaps we could go walking or swimming together?

Esther was an absolute dream to have around our family! We are a very wild and crazy family of six and patience and a sense of humour is a must!!! Esther has both of these qualities as well as a quiet, easy going manner. The children love her as do we and we will miss her terribly. She… read more
The kids are indeed a handful, but they're all very nice people that will slowly let you enter into their life, which is really rewarding !
