Description
Looking for travellers willing to stay for 1-2 months and help me with housework in a busy family with three children. Tasks include cooking, tidying, laundry, and looking after pets.
My partner and I have been hosting travellers for over five years. We love meeting new people, sharing travel stories, and creating a welcoming experience.
Our home is within walking distance of the CBD, with a bus stop nearby for easy access to town. We also offer free use of bicycles, as we’re close to a beautiful waterfront cycling trail. In exchange for four hours of work per day, we provide accommodation, food and friendship.
You're welcome to join us for board games—we have a great selection! My partner enjoys taking visitors surfing and mountain biking, and our two sons love soccer—some of our past guests have even helped them practice.
If you're keen to join us, send a message—we'd love to hear from you!
We welcome all ages, identities, religions and neurodiversity. 🌈 🕊️ 🧘 ✌️

Help
I'm looking for a mother's helper to share the load of managing a busy household with three children. The tasks are general housework such as making dinner, putting away groceries, doing dishes, folding laundry, tidying the lounge and shared areas, putting way toys and baby clothes, feeding the cat and the chickens.
Please, you must know how to cook at least simple dishes such as rice, pasta, and salad. I have recipe cards from Hellofresh as well if you want to follow those.
