Details
Description
We are a family of 4 including mum, dad, 7 year old and 9 year old girls and 3 dogs. We live in a beautiful part of QLD with access to both Toowoomba city and the High Country. There are some shops and cafes within walking distance. We have a lovely old home that we love to enjoy with family and friends. We have a spare room to offer the right person and plenty of personal space.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live in a busy but very fun household with lots of opportunity to laugh and join in with everyday life. We're happy to help with English language practice and there'll be plenty of opportunities to meet our family and friends and join in with some of our social activities if you'd like to.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We would really like help to paint some of our home and to assist with a few other odd jobs including gardening and a little housework. We're hoping to finish off some extrior painting and some outdoor projects. Someone who is great with kids would be ideal and who can work independently.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Accommodation
We will offer a private bedroom and there's a main bathroom that you'll share with the kids. You'll have as much access to the rest of the house as you like including nearly an acre of garden and outdoor sitting areas to enjoy. We love to cook and would be happy for you to join us for meals when we're home. All other food will be included also.
What else ...
There are some busses to toowoomba and surrounds. There's plenty of city activities in Toowoomba but if you're after a quieter experience then we are close to nice little villages and only a couple of hours from Brisbane.
We would only invite someone into our home who will be respectful of us and our children but in return you'll get to experience a taste of our lifestyle.

Your painting skills were amazing and I'm not sure how I'll cope with the washing without you!?!
I'm sure we'll see you again one day! The girls miss your dance routines already.
