    Description

    Kia ora! My name is Estelle, and I live in the beachside town of Pāpāmoa with my two sons (9, 11).

    I am a busy single Mum, and Primary School Teacher. I am looking for some help with my established gardens. Weeding, planting, and pruning. Lawns, and general tidying.

    I would love to learn more about gardening too, especially the fruit trees - so looking for someone who is knowledgable in this area.

    Meeting people, and sharing stories. Maybe making new lifelong friends!

    We are a 5 minute walk to the beach. Mount Maunganui, and wider Bay of Plenty has lots on offer. I am new to this experience, but I love to host, and meet people from all walks of life (while also getting some much needed help around my home!) Must love adventurous and fun kids! :)
