Description
Large loving family home in a peaceful location surrounded by nature in the rainforest at Austinville, Gold Coast QLD Australia. We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children) that are busy out and about most days, on other days we keep active working in the yard. We have a small dog ‘Archie’ and lots of poultry (geese, ducks and chooks). We live in a nice quiet area but with the added bonus of being only 20mins to the beach. We are surrounded by natural gems such as rockpools, hiking tracks, wildlife galore and fresh air. We absolutely love to cook and consider ourselves very good at it, we also live a natural/organic/healthy lifestyle with no chemicals in our home. We are super easy going people and love a good chat with a glass of wine. We have done quite a bit of travel ourselves so appreciate the importance of being adaptable and compromising. As we have big goals in mind we require help with our projects in exchange for a warm comfortable bed in a clean environment filled with love and laughter :)

Help
Help with animals, yard work and renovations - someone that can speak mandarin would be a bonus to continue teaching my son the language but not essential as he has lessons. We are in the process of creating a natural swimming pool (old dam has been dug out) and needing to put up a boundary fence, so help with that would be much appreciated.
