Details

Description
We are a couple with a 2 year old, my partner works in Melbourne only back on weekends so to would be great to have an additional set of hands in the house to assist with mainly childcare. That would be mainly dropping her off at childcare and picking her up. So pretty easy work. She is 2 years old and lots of fun. We are both chilled out and enjoy going to the beach and generally being outdoors. We live on the great ocean road so its a beautiful relaxing area surrounded by beaches. Great for someone that loves the outdoors.

Thanks to Susie and Indy for this great time. I felt very welcome from the first moment and I really enjoyed the time in their little tree house in Anglesea.
Indy is a cute little girl. She loves puzzling, spending time with buns or jumping on the trampoline.
It was fun to see her change her outfits several times a day !
Susie really cares about… read more

Anna has a great chilled out attitude which works perfectly with our household. She was always ready to help out with everything we needed and Indy loved having her around. She has a great "no stress" attitude so everything was not a problem. I would highly recommend her to any workaway programs and wish her all the best with her travels around… read more

Carmen was a breathe of fresh air with such a positive infectious attitude that you just cant help having rub off on you.
She was exactly what we needed without even realising it, she was a great friend to me and for Indy the best playmate at her beck and call. She made playing with Indy not look like a chore but something that she truely… read more

Helena ended up staying with us for about a month. It was great having her with us as she was amazing with Indy and very very tidy. She was always asking if there is anything extra she could do for us or always the first to help out. We wish her all the luck in the world with her future plans and hope that we get to see her again in the future.… read more

Hedda stayed with us for 3 weeks. She is an amazing, independant person who was always willing to help out in any way she could at home and with Indy. I enjoyed having her here as we would always have a laugh together or just a chat about life in general. Thanks Hedda for helping at home and with Indy, you are missed. Good luck with all your… read more

Susie, Ryan and Indy are such a cool and relaxed Familie. I enjoyed the time staying with them so much. There is a lot of fun stuff to do around in your free time: surfing, exploring the little towns and the coast, going for a walk or a drive with Susie and Indy or just chill out with Indy at the pool. She is such a lovely and easygoing child.… read more

Susie, Ryan and Indy are the nicest family I have ever met. They welcomed me as if I was already a part of their family and helped me with everything. They showed me around and took me everywhere with them. There are lots of things to do in Anglesea or close to Anglesea. My favorite things to do were: driving along the great ocean road, watching… read more

Susie and Ryan are amazing people and Indy is such a sweet heart. We only got to spend a week with them but wish it had been longer! Susie and Ryan were so kind and willing to show us around the town and invited us wherever they were going. There is so much fun stuff to do in the town during free time but I think our favorite activity was feeding… read more
