Description
We are an energetic family of five. We live in a beautiful area of Townsville right next to a large soccer oval. We have 3 children, Beverley (3.5) Harvi(2) and Sage (1).
Beverley is in kindergarten 4 days per week and Sage and Harvi will be at home with myself and the workaway travellers.
My parents live in the level below the main house and are very friendly. They have a dog and cats who love attention and to play.
The work mainly consists of playing with the children, preparing food for them, light household work and on occasion minding the children while I work or have appointments.
When minding the children my parents are always home and available to help or answer any questions. (My parents work from home)
The suburb we live in is very central to many locations in the region. With bus stops and a mall in close proximity there is everything you’ll need.
We host travellers in exchange for 15 hours per week with teaching our children about the world, playing with the kids and helping with meal times.
In exchange we offer a private room with plenty of space to relax and use of the kitchen and tv room.
You may purchase your own food or we have an add-on option of all meals in exchange for an extra 5 hours help a week.
The help is usually spread over 5 or 6 days with 1-2 day off per week depending on your preference. When not working there is access to bikes, helmets and locks for exploring the city.
We encourage all kind, respectful travellers who love being a role model to children to apply for a placement with us. ❤️

They have three kids. They are very pretty! I love them.
I study English now, so it was hard for me to communicate with them at first.
But they were very kind to me a lot !
I recommend them!

The atmosphere in the house is friendly and Olivia and Michael as well and they got the sense of humour it's easy to laugh with them.
Thanks for your hospitality and kidness and I wish the best for all the family:)

She made my house sparkly clean and the kids loved her. She was amazing at directing the kids and keeping them on task, she was also very patient. We were blessed to have her help us for the time she was here. We highly recommend her and wish her well on all other workaway adventures
