    Description

    Help with our property in Nelson, New Zealand.

    We are Milo and Kimberly, and have lived in Nelson for 20 years after sailing here from Canada. We have two wonderful (no doubt all parents say this ;) teenagers. Our daughter is learning Spanish and would appreciate someone to practice with.

    We prefer if you have some experience in gardening and/or skills in painting.

    Milo teaches at a maritime school. Kimberly has returned to full time study at University to do a Bachelor of Theology. We speak some Spanish and French and love practice.

    We're a bit limited on space, so would suit someone travelling on their own. You'll have your own room on the main level with a queen bed, heater, closet, toilet, shower and bath. We are walking distance to town (15min). Bicycle available.

    We are a Christian family and would appreciate someone mindful of our values. No parties/drugs.
