    Description

    Hi everyone,

    We’re a warm, easy-going multi cultural family. We have 3-year-old son. We live in a beautiful Queenslander home, just under 10 minutes by bike or car from the centre of Cairns.

    We are looking for someone to help look after our son on part time basis and with flexibility as well as a little help around the house.

    We are offering a private bedroom and share our home’s common spaces. All meals are included, and we also have a spare bike you're welcome to use to explore in your free time.

    We also offer family outing and trips to the beaches and our favourite places in Cairns. We love camping so we'd love to take you and experience it too.

    Our son attends daycare three days a week, and I (his mum) usually work on those same days. My partner works on a project basis, so his schedule can vary.

    We’re looking for someone who is responsible, kind, and easy to live with. If you speak another language, that’s a lovely bonus! Ideally, you’re a student, working part-time, or just arrived and in need of help with accommodation.

    If this sounds like a good fit, feel free to send us a short message introducing yourself or give us a call on whatsapp. we’d love to hear from you soon.

    Kaizel and David.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    My partner is Italian and Dutch. He is not good a teaching the language but if you are from these countries he would be happy to have someone in the house to talk to. He travelled in many places and he can share some stories, tips and suggestions. I am from the Philippines and I can teach you my language. We can cook together and learn about our food. I teach yoga so we can practice together. We can drive you around Cairns and take you to the places we recommend. Our son likes to be around with people who have good energy. He likes playdough. He likes playing on the beach. We'd love to take you campijg and explore Cairns and surrounds. We can go on trips to fresh water creeks and beaches. We'd love to take you to our favourite local cafes and restaurants. We enjoy Yoga and fitness.
