Description
Looking for our next workawayer to join us from 27th May to 24 th June 2024
We are an Australian family Mum Erin with 3 boys (10yrs, 8yrs and 6yrs) and 2 poodles with a four bedroom home in the Pimpama, Gold Coast, Queensland. We would love to have a visitor to help with our fun and energetic boys, some laundry and cleaning. Great location and plenty of spare time for you to enjoy the beaches and nature. Food & Accom supplied :)
Stay with us ,and explore the surrounding areas (Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich, Byron Bay)
We would love you to stay with us and be part of our family and experience the Australian family lifestyle.
We are looking for someone who is easy going, reliable, friendly and experience with children. The boys attend primary school and have before and after school care too. I am home with them on the weekends.
There is no requirement for our visitor to have to drop off or pick up the boys from school.
Preferably female only, non smoker with good level of english. Minimum 2-4 week stay, if you are wanting a true au pair/live with an Australian family experience we would love to host you for up to 3 months.
I am a shift worker in emergency services so I am looking for someone to help out with the kids when I go to the gym and to provide babysitting for date nights (Every second Friday). Approximately 15hrs a week.
The boys live with me for one week and then spend one week with their other parent. Generally I only need your help from 5pm, the rest of the time would be yours to explore this beautiful area. On the days the boys are away feel free to book tours and explore places further away like North Stradbroke island, Northern NSW, Brisbane, Byron Bay and come and go from our home as you please.
We have a bus stop 400m from our home which will connect you to a major shopping centre and train station.
