    Description

    I am 59yrs old and I am 30 yrs in a wheelchair following a horse riding accident.
    I live in a beautiful home on a large farm with my mildly autistic 27yr old son and lots of animals.
    I was born in Kenya, have visited 45 countries and have lived in NZ for 30 years.
    I have a large garden and swimming pool and love to have a helping hand.
    I enjoy mono skiing and Blokarting.
    Having travelled a lot myself I know how it is to be on an adventure . Hopefully I can provide a home away from home.
    (My preference would be to have a single female or a married couple)

    Although I am independent, fit and healthy there are some tasks around my large house and garden that, due to my disability, I would welcome a helping hand with, such as pruning, scrub cutting, window cleaning, water blasting etc.
