Description
Come and help out our family for 6 weeks out in the country. We're on a dairy farm and our 2 children would love and need a friendly person to look after them before and after school, while we are busy calving cows. We'd be most grateful to be on hand Monday to Friday each week and if you want to stay with us in the weekends, this would be free for you to stay also. We're happy to answer any questions you may have, hoping to hear from you soon :)
Types of help and learning opportunities
Babysitting and creative play
Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Our place offers a laid back home, out in the country. Friendly kids who love meeting people from different countries. Come and join our family and see how a typical NZ farming life is on a dairy farm.
We are 40 mins away from two cities, Palmerston North and Masterton and have a car you can borrow should you need. If you have never seen NZ's native birds (including Kiwi), we have a sanctuary called Pukaka about 15 minutes away. Beaches are about 1 hour away.

Help
Hi there :) We are a family of 4, living on a dairy farm in the lovely area of Tararua and 5 minutes from Pahiatua. As we get really busy on the farm, we are in need of someone for 6 weeks to help by having someone in the house for our two children aged 9 and 7 years old. We would need you for a couple of hours in the morning 7-9am and 2-3 hours late afternoon from 3.30pm - 6pm. No weekend help is needed but are still welcome to stay.

Accommodation
We have an up stairs couple of rooms with a nice view that you can call your own. The kids know not to disturb you up there should you want to have your own space, otherwise we'd hope you can call our home yours whilst you're with us :) You'd have breakfast with the kids, make your own lunch using our food and I usually cook dinner every night for you (unless you like cooking and you could give me a night off? )
