Description
Hi!
We're a family of 4 - myself and my 3 children (Samuel 12, Ollie 10 and Annie 7). We live in a lovely place called Welcome Bay in Tauranga. We're right next to a beautiful bush reserve and close to the city and bus routes. My children love learning about different countries, cultures and languages and I've done a lot of travelling before I had kids. You're welcome to join in with our family if you would like that! My kids are all neurodiverse - they're awesome and interesting and full of beans!!
You're equally welcome to stick to yourself and have some time out :)
I'm needing some help with my house and property - it needs some general cleaning/maintenance and I'm in the middle of putting some cabins in the lower garden. If you can build a deck I'll be forever grateful!!! Or if you can help me with it I'd love that too. Theres lot to do around here so any skills would be useful - painting, plastering, garden maintenance, gardening, house cleaning, moving furniture, child care!
We have a small foster puppy at the moment and 2 ginger cats who also love attention!
We're looking forward to meeting you!!!

Very friendly and motivated travellers who have initiative. We provided them with food and a bedroom and they prepared most of their own meals. They helped us with work in our garden - weeding, mowing, making wooden garden boxes, paving and concreting. Their help was so appreciated!
We wish you best… read more
