Description
Hi, my name is Shane and I live with my two boys (10 & 8 years old).
The town where we live is very nice and near the beach. Surfing and other water activities are very popular here as well as exploring parts of the Great Ocean Road.
The town of Torquay is nearby which has plenty of shopping, cafes, restaurants and bars, yoga, gyms....or whatever you're into.
My boys are with me half the time and I am looking to host someone who has child experience (eg. childcare or teacher). I'm looking for someone to look after my boys for 3 days per week (6-7hrs per day) during January 2026 while I am at work and a bit of help around the house.
In exchange we provide food and a bedroom with ensuite.
We had a workawayer from Switzerland last January and it worked really well. The boys had a good time and our workawayer had plenty of time to hang out, explore and live the beach lifestyle whist here.
We remain friends and still stay in contact. We can provide a reference.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Around home the Workawayer will have a chance to experience life here in Jan Juc with plenty of time to spend outdoors, at the beach or around town.
Staying here also provides an opportunity to speak English and interact with us and others. It is a very popular place for other travellers in the summertime too.
