Description
LOOKING FOR A COUPLE.
We are a fun-loving family of four who are really relaxed. We love to have drinks out on our deck with friends. We also LOVE bbq (traditional, Argentinian and off-set).
While we live in the city we are really lucky that we have a leafy green property that backs onto a park and a cycle way. We are looking for help inside the home (chores/and childminding (4y and 1.5y)) and outside (property maintenance, painting, gardening).
We would like to share our place with wonderful like-minded people and get some help around our home.
