Beschreibung

We are life partners who moved to New Zealand from the United States. We raised twin children and enjoyed our careers. Now, we're ready to have new experiences.

We can help you with gardening, odd-jobs, household tasks, house-sitting, pet care and improving your English language skills.

We both have gardening experience from taking care of our own gardens. Richard nurtures the fruit, olive and macadamia nut trees in our backyard as well as the shrubs and grounds. Leslie has volunteered at the local community garden for the last 10 years, growing vegetables and herbs. In the last 2 years, we have been "helpers" on two organic vineyards and an organic farm.

As homeowners of many years, we have experience managing the upkeep of our house. We have done indoor painting, outdoor oiling and staining, minor furniture repairs, decorating, organising and deep cleaning.

We are both native English speakers and have been teachers so we can help others learn or practice English.

We are very willing to help, happy to share and open to learn. We look forward to meeting new people, understanding different cultures, developing new skills and making new friends.

Richard: I am a calm, quiet, self-sufficient, thorough and dependable person. I love books and wine. taught education and psychology, at universities in the United States, Malaysia and New Zealand. It was there that I developed effective organisational and collaborative skills as well as my barista skills. I'm known for getting things organised, seeing what needs to be done and making it happen.

Leslie: I am an optimistic, fun-loving, curious, reliable person. I am known for being excellent at cleaning, organising and downsizing. As a business and life coach, I help people communicate, work better with others and solve problems. I endeavour to incorporate these skills in my own behaviour.

We both enjoy being in nature to garden, hike, camp, kayak and cycle (our new hobby). We also enjoy going to museums, concerts, theatre and festivals.
