Description
Do you love kids!? We have 8!
We are a large Christian family on a beautiful 2.5 acre suburban homestead in sunny Queensland Australia.
We’re looking for a special person to join our family. The volunteer work will mostly include home-duties; helping with children, housekeeping, cooking, cleaning, holding babies, playing with preschoolers etc, but we also have a small organic permaculture farm with a beautiful natural swimming pond, and countless fruit trees.
You will be a part of our family and welcome to join us in all our activities and outings. We'd love to show you around this beautiful region.
We are social and regularly enjoy showing hospitality to friends and family.

Help
Looking for a female helper who loves children ! Must have some experience in cooking, housekeeping and caring for children. Non-smoker please. The special person will have their own room and small seperate shared bathroom. We understand you will need and want your own time, but please understand our household is busy and full of excitement (it can get noisy). We are social and often show hospitality to friends. We are really looking for someone who can use initiative to see needs and jump in and do what needs to be done! Who is flexible but also willing to stick with our schedule as much as possible. They will be a “mother’s-helper” a lot of the time as well as a friend and playmate to the children. We'd love someone who can help with cooking - but not essential. Generally, tasks will involve helping kids with morning and afternoon/evening routines before and after school drop-off. Some time playing with the baby or helping with a few domestic tasks around the house. We'd love to share our family outings with you and show you around our beautiful region. It is likely that 11am-3pm each weekday would be free/quiet time while the kids are at school. And you're welcome to have weekends off to explore if independently if you prefer.

Queensland is wonderful! We are located in the friendly country town of Gympie, an hour north of the Sunshine Coast with incredibly beautiful beaches. Not too far to travel to the Great Barrier Reef.
