Description
I’m a single working mother with a nine year old son. I also have a blind man who boards with me.
I work at a school for children with special needs.
I have an 8 acre lifestyle block with cows sheep pigs chickens goats cats and dogs.
I’m a person who likes to upcycle and have lots of ideas but not enough time or skills. Because of this I’ve become a bit of a hoarder and accumulated a lot of stuff that I could definitely use help sorting out. Better still if you have a creative streak you could help me utilise some of my ‘stuff’.
I also like to do volunteer work within the community.
I live near to a number of beaches and a delightful little township with many wonderful people.
I attend a local church and have good connections with people in the region.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I’d be delighted to give someone the opportunity to visit our beautiful country. I’d love to be able to show them some of the local beauty spots and guide them to other places throughout the country.
We have a lovely country and a fascinating multicultural society. It would be my honour to share this with others from around the world.

Help
Any help is always gratefully received.
Ideally if there are people with these-
handyman skills, household repairs, small craft projects etc.
Farm skills, fencing, water trough repairs, weed removal/scrub cutting.
Helping with sorting and tidying household items.
Gardening skills. I have a small neglected garden I’d like to do something with.

Accommodation
You would be staying in a bedroom within the house with the rest of our family/household. I would envisage that you would join us for family meals and hopefully sometimes be willing to prepare meals, possibly sharing special dishes from your home.
What else ...
I live rurally. Ten minutes from the local town which has a bus service. Not quite sure what else to add here as this is my first time doing this. Nearby are several beaches ranging from inner harbour to surf beaches.
There is a small local museum and a heritage train museum. Further afield the skys the limit. If there’s something specific you’re interested in I’d be happy to look into what we can offer.
