Description
We are a family of 5 living in the beautiful inland city of Ballarat. I am requiring some help around the house in the garden mowing lawns, weeding.
We also have several farms which we work between one of which is a Christmas tree farm & a farm with foliage & flowers these also require mowing and weeding.
We don't have any animals on the farms except for our family dog an Italian maremma Rosetta & a cockerspaniel Wally.
Our children have travelled to Italy & France with us and love meeting new people and learning about the world. They love dancing, netball and football & rowing.
If you speak another language that would be great as they'd love to learn.
If you love cooking even better!
