    Description

    Hello! We are a family of 5 living on the Sunshine Coast in Australia in a spacious house with a heated swimming pool. We are close to public transport, 2 minutes walk to a lake with walking and cycling paths, and close to iconic beaches, Australia Zoo and Aussie World.
    We have hosted multiple long term au pairs so are used to sharing our space. We have also been Workawayers ourselves when we took our kids on a 13-month long round the world adventure! We had some great experiences, met some lovely people and so we would love to return the favour.

    ** We would especially love to host a Workawayer (or two travelling together) to help us with the kids during school holidays which start on 21st September for 2 weeks**

    We are an English/Kiwi couple who love learning about other cultures, we've travelled around the world and would love the kids to learn more about other people, cultures and traditions. And whatever else you can teach us!

  • Help

    Help

    We'd love some help around the house and garden, or just with the kids!
    With the kids it would be school holiday care, or school drop-offs and pick-ups, homework help, help with music practice, language practice, playing boardgames - the boys love chess! Going out for bike rides, swimming in our heated pool etc. doing arts and crafts.
    The kids are 10, 7 & 5 - two boys and a girl. They are all really different but all friendly and sociable.

    Alternatively just helping with tidying, laundry, cooking, or whatever else your skills are! We've been renovating our house and it's looking great but there are still bits and pieces to finish - especially in the garden.

    We can host two Workawayers in the same room, and a family if you just have one child that can share with you our with ours, or if you are in your own camper van :)

    You'd need to park on our driveway so only smaller campers would really work. We can provide a power cable, and have an outdoor tap nearby to connect rainwater supply.
