  Description

  Location near town called Pahiatua
  
  **** looking for someone to stay anytime between end of july until end of September. Would be only child minding/helping kids get ready in morning and helping with dinner prep staying with kids in house while I go and feed calves - 7.15-8.30am and 3.30- 5.30pm each day so I can leave kids at home while I pop out on farm. My husband leaves early and gets home late so help would be great at this time *****
  
  Dairy Farm owners/rural professionals
  ......Now looking for a fun, energised and animal loving female who is good with kids (boys 4yr and 7yr old)
  Must like to live on a beautiful farm near the river - walking distance to river on a beautiful farm
  
  Every weekend you can go away and travel. My husband works full time off farm but farms in the weekends.
  
  Also just general helping keeping house and garden clean and tidy.
  
  We have a swimming pool too.
  
  Lots of places to go for a walk
  
  Sean and Natalie Married, aged 39 and 43yrs old with a preschooler 4yrs named Fergus and boy named Will 7yr 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.
  
  We love animals !
  Love our cows, calves , dogs and horses.
  
  Our dogs are called Drum (Labrador) and Gin (red heeler)
  Farm house with own privacy warm sleep out, ensuit and king bed.
  Wifi available
  We are non smokers - smokers please do not apply
  
  We are generally active and healthy - don’t cook vegan nor vegetarian .
  I (Natalie) juggle overseeing farm and kids and can be difficult especially during calving as kids get tired of being dragged out twice a day to feed calves (mid july-October) 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 no Will tidy up after themselves if reminded.
