Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a New Zealand family, very social and really like meeting new people.
Our neighbourhood is very family orientated and I often have at least five extra kids here and on the trampoline!
You will be welcome to share time with us, but if we need space - you will have a one bedroom separate house all to yourself :)
We have two cats too!
I have travelled throughout the world when I was younger and really appreciate the courage it takes to venture to a new country, especially on your own. You will be a part of our family when you are staying with us and I will happily be your friend :)
I was an au pair in France... so I really do understand!!

Help
My boys are 11 and 13 years old. I would really just like a little help in the mornings to get the house back to standard... sort the kitchen, bedrooms and vacuum daily. Light house tasks then a bit of extra like cleaning windows etc..
There will be a few other things, but you'll have HEAPS of free time.
