    Description

    Hi, we’re Katie, David and our three-year-old son, George.

    We’re a friendly, easygoing family living in Kingscliff, New South Wales, within walking distance of the beach. We love spending time outdoors, whether that’s heading down to the beach, looking out for whales or rainbows, or just enjoying the space. We’re also close to the Gold Coast and many of the beautiful towns throughout the Northern Rivers.

    George is a happy three-year-old who loves construction machinery, trains, being outdoors and meeting new people. He’s full of personality and brings lots of laughter to our home.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    David grew up in this area, so we’re always happy to share local knowledge, whether it’s the best beaches, walks, cafés or places to explore in the Northern Rivers and Gold Coast.

    Before moving here, I hosted guests through property rental for many years in Sydney, so I enjoy talking about travel, Australia and hearing about where other people are from.

    We enjoy getting to know the people who stay with us, sharing meals or conversations when it suits, but we also respect that many people like to have their own space and explore independently.

    Help

    We’re looking for someone who’d be happy to help with a range of tasks. That might be a mix of gardening, light household tasks such as cooking or tidying up, and spending time with our three-year-old son, George. Or, if you have a particular interest or skill (such as gardening), we’re happy for the focus to be more on that.

    We’re in the early stages of developing our outdoor spaces (nothing dramatic), so there are plenty of gardening projects to get involved in. We already have a cleaner who comes once a week, so we’re not looking for someone to do heavy cleaning.

    Some of the time may also be spent with George, whether that’s playing with him at home, taking him to the park or for walks, or keeping him entertained while we’re working nearby.
