Kia ora e hoa mā, nau mai haere mai ki Aotearoa!
Hello friends, welcome to New Zealand!
I'm Jess <3 I'm a working parent <3 and I've been a host now for almost ten years! I've had probably at least a hundred work-aways staying with me before. I have a specific need at the moment to support a house move and I'm looking for someone to stay for just one week. I might also be looking for a house sitter across the Christmas New Year period.
I live on the North Shore of Auckland.
You must like: dogs & kids
You must be okay with: non spicy vegan food (ideally you're a great cook)
I have a big dog called Fozzie Bear, who is a goldendoodle and then his sister Winx the dachshund comes to stay a lot.
I'm ultra busy and living in a 2-bedroom townhouse apartment in Browns Bay. 2.5km walking/biking distance to the beach.
WE LIKE
Plants (they are our silent green whānau), self care, board games, sleep, beach, the gym, sunbathing, walks, eating good food and we're ambiverts and neurodiverse. This home is dedicated to rōngoa and taha wairua (indigenous healing and spiritual wellbeing) and here we have a belief of yindyamarra, which is to go slow, show respect and take responsibility for our actions, our whenua (land) and each other. We have a particular kaupapa in this home of authentic relationships, authentic love and acting in the right way toward each other. We are values-led rather than rules-led.
+1 queer/gay & non-binary, trans positive, SW positive
+1 for anarchists
+1 for force free dog handling
+1 for consensus-based decision making
+1 for clean, house trained adults who can cook and have initiative as nice housemates
+1 420 okay
I'm looking for workaways who are consistent, self-motivated and reliable to help with day-to-day life.
Jobs include:
★ Helping unpack my house into the new home
★ Animal care (caring for him occasionally during the day, clean up, cuddles)
★ Being friendly to my 11 year old kid
★ Healthy (simple) vegan cooking
★ Light chores
There is a local yoga centre nearby offering free yoga.
When you're here our whānau kitchen and fridge will be available for you to eat from as you please. In our culture there is free access to food in the kitchen. There's WIFI, a warm bed, a dry home and a gym, subway, pharmacy, dairy, and tons of other amenities in 2 mins walk.
Current offering:
Looking for someone self-motivated to help unpack a houseload of items and help us move into a house!
Limitations:
I am unlikely to purchase specialty food e.g. if you need special gluten-free bread or only eat fully raw gourmet vegan food I can't accommodate. No cigarette smoking/vaping on site that's a hard limit, I am a former smoker and it's hard for me to even smell this on people's clothing. No vaping in the house, surrounds or vehicles. No heavy drinkers or party people - the set up here isn't good for late night returns and hang-overs. We're a family home so just seeking a general wholesome vibe. I can only accomodate one person at this time.

Unterkunft
A mattress, this time we have a space around the stairs that will convert nicely to a simple single room. It's not going to be set up so you could do that. We have a shared bathroom with a bath tub and shower. We have blankets, sheets, heater, dry and mould-free, and well stocked pantry that you can play with.
Was noch ...
We are 5 minutes drive from the main bus station to get to town, and we have so many beaches right on our doorstep! We are in the heart of North Shore beaches, Browns Bay, Waiake, Long Bay reserve, Rothesay Bay, Murrays Bay and Mairangi Bay. We're also about 5 min drive from the Albany mega centre, pools and gym, as well as Kawai Purapura (a yoga retreat centre who also offer workaway spots and free yoga). I can drop you places from time to time but it's all in walking/biking distance here.

My sweet and precious ones! I can't believe it's been a year since I stepped into your beautiful, hillarious, outrageous, crazy, loving home.
I've thought about this review a million times, but I can't really sum my months with you up. You rocked my world, all of you, and I learned so much about you and myself and the world… read more
Erin and Jessie are generous and warm people who manage chronic pain conditions and fluctuating ill-health. The house moves between being full of energy and excitement to being quiet and restful. Sometimes their life is a bit… read more
After I was rewarded with a wonderful Christmas week.
I also helped out with some random projects around the house.
In the end they took me along on their camping trip.
Overall, great experience.
Yes it involved doing a lot of dishes, having to go on different adventures away from the house from time to time and sometimes things were a little chaotic. But I would without a doubt do it again.
I felt truly welcome in their company. I will never forget the meals, talks, laughs and of course… read more
