    Description

    We’re a family of four living south of Perth in a small coastal village. The beach is 500metres away and cafe 200 metres. We share our house with an old cat and a young Kelpie puppy and cockatiel bird, all extremely happy to share their days with people.

    We are a relaxed but busy family, working in Education Support and running a Surf and Yoga business. Our two children, aged 11 & 13 years old are happy, kind kids who love surfing, Soccer, playing the drums and guitar, art, hanging out with friends, cooking, and being with their animals.

    We have a large garden, and lots of space. Unfortunately life can get very busy, and any help around the house, with our business or looking after the children is very welcome. Support can come in the form of housework, gardening and maintenance, help with the surf school. photography and support in social media for the business and help with the children.

    We run surf and yoga retreats in Indonesia a couple of times a year. At this stage the kids aren't confident enough to surf at the locations we go to so they stay at home and are cared for by their grandparents. Help during these times is needed as the children's grandparents are ageing and it's a lot to look after the kids, house and three pets. We would love support during these times.

    If you are experienced in social media or photography we're keen to connect.

    There are many local attractions including swimming with dolphins, cruises, wake boarding, visiting native animal zoo, enjoying a fire pit in the backyard, going surfing with us, attending one of our yoga classes, working at the local cafe, and simply soaking up the Aussie surf and sun.
