Description
Our family includes two children, Layla who is 15 and Sahar, who is 13, as well as our beautiful big, gentle dog Bamba. We live in beautiful Port Macquarie, NSW which is about 4 hours North of Sydney. Our house is located about 15 minutes by foot to the beach and its café and also very close to the Port Macquarie Lighthouse as well as Sea Acres National Park, which is about 7 minutes away by foot. We enjoy taking Bamba for walks or a swim at the beach, playing sports such as soccer and table-tennis, playing music and also playing Backgammon. Originally from Israel, we now live in Australia and love to travel around during the school holidays.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You would get to enjoy an outdoor lifestyle with a direct access to the beach and the National Park. We love being close to nature which is reflected in our home which has lots of trees and outdoor space. Layla loves to sing and write songs, she also plays the piano, the guitar and ukulele, whilst Sahar is learning to play the drums and piano. The kids are both creative and always active, so we would love travelers to get involved and become a part of our family, joining in with activities, adventures and trips. We like to try new foods and would love to try dishes from different cultures and we can share some of our own Israeli dishes too. You would also have lots of free time where you could explore the Port Macquarie and its surroundings.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
The main thing we want is someone to be around after school with the children and to cook an evening meal. It would be good if this could include help with homework, creative projects, music practice or language practice (we love to learn about new languages and cultures!). We also appreciate some help with household chores like washing and a bit of cleaning each week and sometimes general help with small projects around the house.
