Description
We are a bustling family of six living in the Limestone Coast of South Australia, we love the beach and nature in general. We have a national park practically on our doorstep. The area is known for its unspoilt natural beauty, world class wineries, natural attractions such as caves and sinkholes. When we're not in the garden or working, you'll find us at the beach or exploring nature. We have a large garden and we have loads of projects on the go. We have 4 young children ranging in ages 2-13. We could use some help with babysitting, garden and renovation projects.

Projects involving children

Help
Help with children, gardening, landscaping and backyard projects, light renovations etc.
Below are some projects that have been on my to do list for a while:
Setup a Greenhouse on a concrete slab
Build a Treehouse
Setup an above ground pool & fence
Build an outdoor kitchen
Building more raised garden beds
General gardening
Basically a hands on person who likes gardening and can engage well with children. You wouldn't be expected to have all the skills for the above jobs, just being there to keep an eye on my inquisitive 2 year old son while I have my hands full would be a huge help in itself.Languages
