Hello!
Come enjoy exploring and working in the beautiful coastal city of Newcastle, while hanging out with a warm friendly family of three.
About our famliy:
I'm Heather, a 44 year old environmental scientist. I have two sons, Tasman (17) and Eden (8). We are a friendly family and enjoy playing games, cooking and nature.
Please note: Tasman has autism so can be EXTRA friendly and loves a chat and will make you feel very welcome.
About our home:
Our home is a lovely large house with 4 bedrooms, you'll have your own room and a seperate bathroom (off the laundry) that can be all yours.
Our home has a large permaculture garden, with plenty of nature despite being in the heart of Newcastle. We're a short walk to the popular Lambton swimming pool, parks, sports fields and resturaunt / pub / shopping streets. It's a 20-30min bike ride or bus into Newcastle CBD and beaches.
We generally sit down to share dinner and breakfast together and the rest of the day we have a well stocked fridge and pantry of healthy foods to help yourself from.
About the work:
The work is 4 hours per day for week days (max 25 hours) per week (depending how long you stay).
Work may include:
- playing / reading / art / music with the boys for an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening while I am getting ready for work or cooking dinner
- general household work like cleaning, cooking, shopping
- basic renovations (painting etc)
- What else you like to do! If you have specific skills, we'd love to put them to use! Teach us how to play an instrument? Paint us a mural? Fix a sqeaky door?
This position would suit single or couple who like kids, and also enjoy having some time to themselves.
How to apply:
If you're interested in joining us, please email your proposed dates and a little about yourself. If you have reviews or references please also send them.
Looking forward to meeting you!
Heather
