Description
We are looking for someone/a couple from July 4th - 23rd July.

We are looking for general help at the moment, cooking, cleaning, laundry, sorting children clothes and toys, interacting or playing with children (if you're able), and some gardening.

We always have work for people with computer skills such a website design/updating, SEO, social media etc.

There is ALWAYS something to do!

We live in a great area of Christchurch and we have a nice warm home. We eat healthy food only and avoid dairy and sugar (its not as bad as it sounds). We are hands on parents and welcome you to be a part of our lifestyle. Our children are fun and engaging.

Dustin is a lovely person to have around. He is friendly and talks to everyone. He has some good adventures to share. We felt he didn't really understand the reciprocity of work away and felt he took advantage a little.

Where to start to describe our stay with this lovely young family. We stayed for about 10 days and loved every bit of it. We could really add some value to them (we believe) by upgrading their existing website and help them to start monetizing it. We really liked doing the work and have learned quite a bit from them as well. Hazel, George and the… read more
