    Description

    We are a family of 4 that includes Philip and me and our two sons Reuben 25 and Jericho 27. Philip lives in a nursing care home.
    We live in Sandringham, Auckland which is 15-20 minutes from city and beach by bike, which we mostly use for transport. We have some spare ones for workawayers to use. There is also bus and train.

    I am vegetarian. My sons cook separately from me. I prefer to have a workaway who can cook vegetarian and is happy to share the cooking with me.

    I need help with garden (permaculture) and inside house. At the moment I need someone with DIY skills.
    I usually take singles, but if one of a couple has DIY skills I will be happy to have them.

    We have had many workaways in the past and enjoy having guests from other countries to stay.
