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 (6y and 4y)) 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. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a typical kiwi family who love to fish, dive and travel New Zealand. We'll be able to tell you the places to go and the things to do. We also have family in North Canterbury and Whangarei Heads so know those places well and can help you if your interested in going to those areas too.
