  Beschreibung

  I am a single mum with shared custody of a (usually!) engaging 13 year old daughter, plus a little dog, looking for someone to join us from the 20th of September and stay for 6 weeks (or longer).
  
  I am self-employed in an import/export business, and have a large house and garden, the care of which get away from me without assistance!
  The help I need is with domestic tasks (dishes, cleaning etc) in the house, and garden - at this time of year we're preparing the garden for summer planting :-) Someone who’s a bit handy and could undertake a few little bits of painting or fix-it tasks would be an added bonus!
  I work full-time, and sometimes need assistance to get my daughter to her various activities, so a full drivers license is required. My elderly mum occasionally needs to be driven places as well - she's a fun lady who provides vibrant and lively conversation.
  
  My daughter is pretty self-sufficient, and of course is only with me half the time, but she has a variety of interests and a zany sense of humour... she is easy to spend time with if you can pin her down, which is not easy now that she's a teenager! However, we enjoy our international helpers and have created many firm friendships. Our dog, Bobbie, is gentle and easy, but she loves attention and loves going for walks so you must be ok with dogs. On occasion I go out for the evening or away overnight, in which case you are in full charge of her!
  
  Your accommodation is a comfortable, fully furnished room in a fully independent flat which is separate from our house, so you don't actually live with us - it's a two-bedroomed apartment that you share with a flatmate. You have your own spacious room with a queen-sized bed, and you share the kitchen, lounge and bathroom with that person. (It used to be a rental. If it is used for that again you will not be required to undertake any tasks). We all share the garden, which gets loads of sun and is a lovely place to relax.
  
  Because I ask for people who can stay for several weeks many of our helpers do this help alongside part-time jobs (and sometimes stay for several months!). I do my best to be as flexible as possible to make it work for us both.
  
  We live in Kilbirnie, which has a vibrant shopping centre just a few minutes' walk from our house, with a variety of shops including 2 major supermarkets and CommonSense Organics.  We are close to the Beach, the swimming pool, the Mt Victoria walkways and only a 15 minute bus ride into Wellington centre.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  We have been doing this for several years, so are experienced Workaway hosts. We have enjoyed spending time with the helpers who have stayed with us and have developed firm friendships with many of them.
  
  You will enjoy a comfortable home close to many amenities (city, beach, mountain biking etc). You will have opportunities to do your own exploring of Wellington all it has to offer. For a couple, we find usually one person does the Workaway and the other often works in another job. You will also be welcome to join us to experience "real life" occasions in a Kiwi home.

  Arbeit

  I am a single mum running my own business. I have shared custody of my 13 year old daughter, and am looking for help with household tasks and gardening.
  
  The help is approximately 3 hours a day in exchange for a very comfortable, spacious room in an independent 2-bedroom flat, separate from my house.

  Unterkunft

  Your accommodation is a large double room in a fully furnished, 2 bed-roomed flat/apartment that is separate from my house, so you live fully independently from us.
  
  The apartment has a kitchen, lounge and bathroom that you will share with the occupant of the second bedroom as house-mates. We all share a very sunny garden.

  Was noch ...

  Our home is in Kilbirnie. It's less than a 3 minute walk to the local shopping centre (including 2 supermarkets, Post Office, bus stop etc), and a 10-15 minute bus ride into Wellington City. The beach is 1.5km away; the best surfing beach in Wellington! Some lovely walking tracks are only a few hundred meters up the road. There is heaps to do and we are happy to chat about ideas.
  Wellington is an amazing, little city with lots to offer. With hilly bushwalks, rugged coastline and beaches all fringing a vibrant city full of restaurants, art and theatres, and bustling with activities, there is lots to enjoy. Plus, it's the gateway to both the North and South Islands, for your own adventures!
