  Description

  Hi, my name is Ashleigh I am an Australian who moved to the US in 2020. My husband and I have a beautiful son who is 16 months old and our dog Piper. I do interior design so I love a good DIY project, I also run my cosmetic clinic business in Australia remotely from the US. My husband is a Baseball Coach at the University. We live in Wichita, Kansas it’s a beautiful place and very close travel to a lot of places in the US. We also get the opportunity to travel with my husbands baseball team. We have a good size house where you will get your own room and bathroom.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Our family is a mix of Australian and US, I am Australian and my husband is originally from California. With my husbands job we do have the option of travelling to other places within the US so there is the potential to visit other places. My husband also works for a college so you could experience what college life in the US is about especially college sports. I like to get out of the house most days and do different activities. You would be a part of the family so you would be included in any activities you would like to be apart of.

  Help

  We are open to any suggestions you have as to what you would like to help with. Helping with general tidying of the house and helping out with cooking meals would be great. Taking our dog for a walk would be super helpful. I am always up for a DIY project so if that is something that interests you that could be fun to help with.

  Accommodation

  We have a 5 bedroom 3 bathroom house. We live on the main floor with my son and our guests stay downstairs with their own room with a king size bed and your own bathroom. The downstairs also has another lounge room as well. We mostly live upstairs on the main level and rarely go downstairs. So you would feel like you have your own privacy. My husband works long hours so it will mostly just be me and my 16 month old at the house. We would provide groceries for the house and we would want you to feel very much apart of the household and family.

  What else ...

  My son and I do activities most days which you would be welcome to come with us and do as well such as taking him to the zoos, museums and other local attractions. In your time off there are many different tourist attractions here to experience, art centres etc. Also lots of college sports to go see such as the baseball which we attend a lot because my husband is a coach. Basketball games are very big here as well. You will be able to use my car a lot of the time. There are also many day trips and cities you can drive to or even do quick flights to. Disney World is only a 2.5 hour flight away.
