  Description

  Hello Workawayers!
  
  We’re a relaxed and friendly family of four living in the beautiful, green suburb of Diamond Creek, just outside of Melbourne. Our home is surrounded by nature, with plenty of space to enjoy both indoors and out – perfect for anyone looking to experience authentic Australian suburb life while still being within easy reach of the city.
  
  We have two young, fun-loving kids (ages 2 and 4), and we’re looking for a kind, proactive helper to join our household and give us a hand with a variety of tasks including:
  
  Household chores
  
  Gardening and outdoor maintenance
  
  Small tasks or home improvement projects
  
  Childcare (playing, helping with routines, etc.)
  
  What we offer:
  🏡 Your own comfortable bedroom and bathroom
  🚉 Easy access to public transport – the train to Melbourne city is just a short walk away
  🍽️ Shared meals and a chance to enjoy delicious, healthy food
  🌿 A peaceful, welcoming environment in a leafy suburb with great walking trails and local cafes
  
  We value a calm, respectful atmosphere and would love to host someone who enjoys being around children, is happy to roll up their sleeves when needed, and is keen to be part of our daily rhythm.
  
  Whether you're a nature lover, or simply looking to immerse yourself in Australian family life – we’d love to hear from you!
