Details
Description
We are a family of four with full time working parents with an 18 year-old daughter and a 20 year old son living at home. We have a Jack Russell dog, and two cats. We enjoy hiking, mountain biking, gaming, op shopping, animals, music, and swimming and kayaking in the summer.
We live in the central North Island in Rotorua, famous as a geothermal wonderland and for its beautiful lakes, rivers, and forests. This area is especially popular with mountain bikers and we live within a short ride to world class trails for all levels of skill.
We have a big home with a garden in a safe, quiet and friendly neighborhood.

Help
We are a busy family working or studying full time and would really appreciate having someone to cook and do dishes as we come home tired at the end of the day. We would also love help with dog-walking as our little Zoe sometimes misses out. A driver's licence would be helpful but not essential.
You will have use of a mountain bike, and possibly a car at times and we would welcome you as part of the family. The boys love a bit (a lot) of gaming (mostly Fortnite) so you are welcome to join the squad too if thats your thing!
