Description
Are you a builder or carpenter? Or do you love cooking healthy food?
We are looking for someone to help with some building / maintenance jobs like paving, shovelling top soil, and if you have the skills, maybe build a couple of fences.
We are also looking for someone who can cook delicious meals.
We have space for several people so if you are interested in one of these roles get in touch!
Builder - paving, shovelling top soil, building some fencing, landscaping.
Cooking - making delicious meals for us - we love to eat good food but we work full time and not that interested in cooking after a long day at work.
We would like someone to cook evening meals 4-5 x week and healthy lunches for us to take to work. There may also be a few household chores like laundry, firewood, gardening.
We also have a small dog and and old cat and would love you to take the dog for a walk each day.
You can have your own room (queen bed) and bathroom (only shared occasionally). Big comfortable home close to lovely swimming beaches and only 25 mins to city. Bus stop right outside the house. We are an easy going relaxed kiwi family (kids away at university) who can offer a great base to explore Auckland and to north island.
Prefer someone for at least 2-4 weeks.
Builder - must be able to work unsupervised and know what you are doing.
Cooking - Must be passionate about cooking and be able to think about a menu and make delicious meals. You can prepare food during the day and leave it for us to heat up - then you are free to go out and do your own thing.
