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, all extremely happy to share their days with people.
I teach Yoga and am a Secondary school teacher. My husband and I run a Surf and Yoga business locally. Our two children, a boy and girl, are 9 & 11 years old. They are happy, energetic kids who love Cricket, Soccer, AFL, playing the drums and guitar and drawing. They really enjoy being at home, playing with their puppy dog and also enjoy some time playing on their computers.
We have a large garden, in which we are growing apples, olives, corn, pumpkin, lemons and limes. We're trying to create our own edible garden and love turning our produce into delicious meals, preserves and desserts. Unfortunately life can get very busy, and any help around the house, with our business or looking after the children is very welcome.
There are many local attractions including swimming with dolphins, cruises, wake boarding, visiting native animal zoo, enjoying a fire pit in the backyard and simply soaking up the Aussie surf and sun.

This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help is required during the morning preparations including walking the kids to the school bus. The rest of the day is yours to explore our area unless you are happy to help with our surf school, which usually finishes around 11 in the morning. Some evening babysitting needed and general help around the house. Playing with the children and taking the dog for short walks during the day.
