Description
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.
Do you love cooking healthy food and interested in odd jobs around the house like:
- Gardening
- Painting
- General maintenance
- Cleaning
- Sorting out stuff
Cooking - we love to eat good food but we work full time and not that interested in cooking after a long day at work.
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.
We would like someone to cook evening meals 4-5 x week and healthy lunches for us to take to work.
We also have a small dog and and old cat and would love you to take the dog for a walk 1-2 times each day.
You can have your own room (queen bed) and bathroom (only shared occasionally). Big comfortable home close to lovely beaches and only 25 mins to city. Bus stop right outside the house.
Prefer a couple for 2-4 weeks.
