Description
**Looking for workaways for May and June 2024**
Join our lively, busy, and fun family of four, plus our big, friendly dog! Our boys, aged 4 and 7, keep us on our toes. My husband works overseas for 8 weeks at a time. My Dad also lives with us, but it is a separate cabin.
We're situated in rural Waipu, just a 10-minute drive to the small-town center (supermarket, cafes, pharmacy, etc.) and 15 minutes from the surf beach at Waipu Cove. Our home boasts beautiful views out to the sea.
On weekdays, our boys are at school and daycare, and I could use some help with household tasks like cleaning and laundry, gardening etc. In the evenings, a hand with the kids and cleaning up after dinner would be fantastic.
During the weekends, I host open homes and need assistance looking after the boys for a few hours on both Saturday and Sunday. You'll have two weekdays off to recharge.
Your accommodations include a personal room and access to a bathroom that is occasionally used by the kids. We're excited to welcome someone into our energetic and a little chaotic family!
We are not in walking distance to amenities so having your own transport is good but not necessary. We are a 2-hour bus ride from Auckland.
