Details
Description
We are a family of six - four humans and two dogs, on a large suburban block teaming with birds and wildlife. We are easy going, non-judgemental folk who welcome and celebrate people of all cultures and diversities who are curious, peaceful and friendly.
We live close to public transport, are 30 mins bus ride (or 15 mins car drive) to gorgeous beaches and cafes. We are approximately two and a half hours by train north of Sydney.
We occasionally need help with caring for the dogs, who are both very sociable and friendly creatures, and often need some help with bits and pieces of garden work, or cleaning and meal preparation.Types of help and learning opportunities

We have one teenage daughter who just finished High School. The other teenage daughter is at the beginning of High School. Barbara has just begun working away from home for extended periods in remote NSW. Ian works as in health providing mental health care to kids. We are interested in travel and have travelled the world extensively. We enjoy learning about other cultures and sharing our mixed Australian/Northern European heritage. We are omnivores, but welcome all eating preferences, including vegan.
Help
We would appreciate some help minding the dogs if we need to travel, or to walk them and play with them if we are busy. We would also appreciate simple help in the large garden with assorted and varied basic gardening jobs. Sometimes simply some help around the home would be enough.

Accommodation
You would have access to a large room in our home, sharing either one of our two bathrooms. There is a very large outside undercover deck, overlooking our little gully and creek, as well as a large lounge area. Recently added new kitchen is a joy to be in for those who enjoy cooking.
