    Description

    Kia ora!
    We are a Christian family of 7 living in the beautiful Bay of Plenty in the North Island of NZ. Our family consists of Mum (Lucy), Dad (Danny) and 5 kidlets ranging from 11 years to 6 weeks old!
    Our cozy cottage home is on 9 acres of land where we keep a couple of cows (Tiny Tim and Speckles), chickens, a goat, dogs and cats plus a large veggie garden.
    We would love some help to get our veggie garden flourishing again after the birth of our baby, general help around the home, the occasional bit of childcare, grocery shopping and anything handy really!!
    Would be happy to discuss varying arrangements to suit both parties.
    Our home is 15 minutes from town and 7 minutes to a beautiful beach. Plenty of awesome fishing and hunting nearby!
    We have a separate sleepout, fully self contained which would suit up to two adults. Would love to hear from you if you think this could be something you'd enjoy!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We can offer knowledge and a willingness to teach around the garden (as well as hopefully gleaning new things from you!). We are passionate about growing/hunting/fishing for our own food and working as a wider community in supporting one another.
    We have lots of experience with childcare so could work well with a Nanny or anyone wanting experience in this respect.
