    URGENT HELPER NEEDED NEXT WEEK!!
    WE ARE LOOKING FOR A SOLO HELPER TO LOOK AFTER OUR KITTENS AND HOUSE SIT FROM NEXT MONDAY 25 AUGUST UNTIL END OF WEEK OR WEEKEND. WE ARE FLEXIBLE ON END DATE .

    We live in East Auckland for past 3yrs after having lived on waiheke island for 12 years. I am a solo father raising my 18 year old daughter who attends the local high school.

    Our beloved cat Harry passed away 8 months ago and we now have two new kittens, Tigger and Reggie (Growing fast). They race around the house like crazy but enjoy snuggles too.

    Jade and I both enjoy the company of having visitors to stay.

    I work from both home and Waiheke Island. After moving to Auckland, We renovated the Waiheke house into a boutique short term accomodation which is very popular.

    Life is more easy these days so our Helpers would only be required to help with general day to day tasks, Mainly cleaning jobs or other little jobs around the home but usually its more to house-sit while we are away and to look after the kittens Tigger and Reggie.
    Our role suits independent travellers, Domestic experience (A must) and doesn't mind getting their hands dirty if needed.

    The role is generally more relaxed, helping out around the house. For us is nice to have help with some cleaning and small jobs but we don’t have any fixed schedule. We no longer supply food as we do not have enough work here so we are happy if you want to use the kitchen utensils you can make your own. occasionally I need help with a project.. Drivers licence maybe a bonus. We are happy to give you tips and can show you around all the best places and give you a locals perspective :)
