Details
Description
Currently we are on the hunt for a superstar to help out with the kids & ponies while I (Brooke) recover from shoulder surgery which is planned for late August 2024.
We are a dairy farming family in Mokoreta, Southland, New Zealand. Milking approx 1700 cows.
We love having people in our house and think it's good for our children to learn about different cultures from an early age.
Kids are 11, 9, 8 & 6 and are into a variety of things. This role would be afternoons & most weekends taking 1-4 kids to their various activities. Rarely would it be both days of the weekend.
You must have a full drivers license (my car would be available for all work use), the role would ultimately suit someone who loves kids or ponies .. ideally both! But if neither float your boat we are not the home for you lol.
Accomodation would be in our house or if you’d like to bring a camper/caravan we would be happy to hook you into power.
Prior to contacting us please google Mokoreta and locate it on the map so you know where we are :).
Please only message us if you have experience with kids, understand that they're busy/noisy/messy …
So we know you have taken the time to read our whole profile when contacting us can you please tell us your favourite meal.

The girls are so nice and Brooke and Stu made me feel home :)
The help wasn't hard at all and on my free days I went to Curio Bay (45min by car) and I was swimming and surfing with dolphins.
And I will never forget taking the pony to the pub :)
Thanks for the awesome week.
