  Description

  Location near town called Pahiatua , lower north island
  
  **** looking for someone to stay and help me with the upkeep of garden and house cleaning. Also some minding of kids during calving - I feed claves twice a day and they kids find it tough being dragged out after school . So it would super helpful if I could leave them at home with u for a couple of hours .
  
  Dairy Farm owners/rural professionals
  ......Now looking for a fun, energised and animal loving female who is good with kids (boys 6yr and 8yr old)
  Must like to live on a beautiful farm near the river - walking distance to river.
  
  My husband works full time off farm but farms in the weekends.
  
  Also just general helping keeping house and garden.
  
  We have a swimming pool too that I have paint for and needs to be painted before summer
  
  Lots of places to go for a walk
  
  Sean and Natalie Married, aged 40and 44yrs old with a boy 6yrs named Fergus and boy named Will 8yr both at school.
  
  We would love to go out for dinner at some point and have some time alone so someone who is capable of putting kids to bed etc .
  We have wifi, Netflix, neon and sky tv .
  Very relaxed - if you wanted to take time away and explore a bit on weekends that would suit as well. Possible a car to use.
  
  We love animals !
  Love our cows, calves , kittens, chickens dogs and horses.
  
  Our dogs are called Drum (Labrador) and Gin (red heeler)
  Farm house with own bedroom in house king bed.
  Wifi available
  We are non smokers - smokers /vapours please do not apply
  We are not able to cater to vegetarian or vegan sorry
  
  We are generally active and healthy - don’t cook vegan nor vegetarian . But we like have fresh healthy food options.
  I (Natalie) juggle overseeing farm and kids which can be difficult especially during calving (mid july-October) as kids get tired of being dragged out twice a day to feed calves so to have help to watch kids at home would be great during this time especially.
  
  The boys love outdoor play and occupy themselves pretty well. They are polite and well mannered they tidy up after themselves if reminded. Really practical boys who love helping, so you can ask them to help out with tidying if things get messy.
