August position - Available 🤘🏼🤘🏼
G’day, guys!
My husband and I met while travelling in Eastern Europe 8 years ago, and since then we have gotten married and settled down...So now we like to do the hosting.
We've been hosting consistently for nearly 5 years and have met many beautiful people.
Our home is in the beautiful suburb of Maroubra, we are close to lots of major transport routes, 2 minutes walking distance to the BEACH, cafes, restaurants and 25 minutes drive to the centre of Sydney. Our home can be loud, lively, and busy juggling two young fun kids.
We can host one person at a time and are happy to offer you a single-sized bedroom and a downstairs toilet situated downstairs.
If you have a campervan we can even host you in the yard.
The room is comfortable with loads of pillows, extra bedding + oil heater if you're cold, bedside light, chest of drawers to store your belongings and a laundry basket. The room is small and located downstairs, whilst we sleep upstairs. We can't guarantee you a huge amount of privacy with kids at the age where they can open doors, and will happily be your alarm clock, but we can offer you a safe fun home with well-traveled people, with open hearts and minds. Just check out some of our reviews.
Looking for someone who can help around the house, with the kids, and be a great big brother or sister.
Our ideal workaway is someone who wants to be a part of a family but can be independent and autonomous. It would be a pleasure to take you with us on trips on weekends when we do go, we enjoy walking, coffee, the ocean and especially food!
Types of help and learning opportunities:
Babysitting and creative play
Creating/ Cooking family meals
General household cleaning
4 hours per day 5 days per week
We have a cleaner who comes once a month and I (Naomi) will manage the “dirty work” so it will just be general household tidying, folding laundry, vacuuming, cleaning up with kitchen etc help with food preparation and making meals is also important to us, as we are a family who enjoys meals together.
We are a household of food lovers, finding great enjoyment learning new recipes and sharing our own.
Our family is made up of Palestinian, Ukrainian, Dutch and Asian descent and combined we have travelled to over 50 counties.
Over the years we have hosted:

Help around the house
Maroubra is a great location for exploration and one of the last communities In the affluent eastern suburbs which still has a small-town feel.
The East is so desirable because it's on the ocean, but also extremely close to the city, which is a 25-minute drive away. On your doorstep you have the very best coastal walks, north towards Bondi but also South towards la Perouse, covering different terrain, flora and fauna.
Maroubra has a fun, beach bum community, full of a diverse range of people, it is quieter than the usual hotspots of Coogee and Bondi, but has the best beach for surfing, beginner or expert.
Our home is open and welcoming, there is little that we haven't seen or heard.
Our personal interests are food, business, crypto, world economics and news, spirituality in all its forms and walking!
As a family we try to do weekly walks and we welcome you to join us! Walking as a family is very different to walking as a group of adults, imagine trying to go on a hike with a drunk best friend, frequent stopping, the odd meltdown, needing provisions of all kinds to keep them going, and most of all patience, and bucket loads of encouragement to reach the destination.
Working, living and being part of a family is no small feat, it requires resilience, strength, commitment, endurance and gentleness. Our little people are our world, and you have a unique opportunity to contribute to us all.
This Workaway experience is unique and like no other ❤️
