Beschreibung
A great attitude is the most important job requirement. Being helpful, responsible, clean and organized are also desired. If you can't do the little things, like make your bed for example, how can you expect to do the big things?
We mainly need a helping hand with yard maintenance and housework. No skills required. Pretty simple right? No stress, no worries, just fun days helping each other and keeping on top of things.
We have a lovely old home in Hawera that we need help with. The workload is generally about 4+ hours per day.
I'm an American and my wife is English. We look forward to exchanging our cultural differences. We love our 4 small dogs and 3 pet sheep; we hope you will too!
We encourage a positive, cheerful attitude and not starting till 10am usually helps that :). We invite you to relax and enjoy your moments with us and make it your home, hopefully enjoying the outdoor shower, spa, and sunroom as much as we do. Clothing is always an option in the garden, spa, sunroom, and beyond!
Mt Taranaki is a stunning region and will truly be one of the highlights of your journey throughout N.Z. The coastal walks are spectacular and the various mountain treks are amazing! The center of Hawera is about a 20-minute walk from our home, offering a few delightful local attractions. A bicycle is available if you're keen to explore further.

I am an American. My wife is from the U.K. We've lived in N.Z. for decades and feel it's our home on most days. We look forward to exchanging stories, ideas, recipes and future travel plans as we've been pretty much 'everywhere' in N.Z. at least once.
Arbeit
To lend a helping hand in a bit of everything would be greatly appreciated, i.e. lawns, weeding, painting, holding the other end of something heavy haha. Inside would be cleaning and helping in the kitchen and cleaning up after meals:)
We seem to be very allergic or maybe contagious to children :) so you won't have to be concerned with catching anything. We value our adult household.
Gesprochene Sprachen
Englisch: Fließend
Unterkunft

South Taranaki is home to some great places. Spectacular coastlines and numerous hikes around Mt Taranaki We look forward to your arrival so we can help you with your adventure. Safe travels and enjoy! :)

My time with these two wonderful people was really nice. Christina is such a sweet heart and always asked if I had enough food (no worries about that, you'll never starve). And Kelly is a crazy old man who become a kind of grandpa for me.
I'll never forget them !
