Description
Beautiful Mexican inspired Villa, 10 mins drive from Byron Bay and amazing beaches. We are a local family that have been slowly building our dream home for the last 13 years.
We are specifically looking for a couple someone handy with building and tools and gardening and also someone good with children.
Having helpers for the past 12 years on our property has helped us to create our home and make our dreams become reality. We have 2 children 9 and 13 years old who are fun, loving adventurous kids who love meeting new people. We enjoy meeting new people from different cultures and working together on different projects. We appreciate all the help we get building and maintaining our home and property.
We would also like someone who is able to drive, pick the kids up from activities, and also look after the kids a couple of evenings per week and do homework. Cooking would also be nice if you like it.
