Description
Hi Workawayers, We are Emma and James, we are both 32, we have a beautiful 2 year old boy and baby number 2 on the way, Granny Jen (Emma's mum) also lives on the property. We live in Cooloola Cove, which is 10 minutes from Rainbow Beach, 5 minutes from Tin can bay and an hour north of Noosa. Our property backs on to the national park where you can enjoy peaceful walks. We have both traveled extensively in our earlier years and have had many great experiences as a workawayer, we would love to continue being apart of this community offering a private space on our property. This space is tucked away amongst the palm trees, you will be sleeping in a converted van with a decking, the van is comfortable with a double bed, there is an outdoor/undercover tropical bathroom and kitchen area for you to use. We also have an artisan micro bakery on our property from which we work, so we are incredibly busy running a business and being parents of a toddler and 2 dogs which is why we are looking for some extra help around the house. Although transport is limited where we are we are happy to drive you places you are keen to seen. Granny Jen goes to Coolum Beach every Wednesday for the day so you can always hitch a ride down to the sunny coast or Noosa area, we also have a stall at the markets in the Noosa hinterland every weekend and go to Gympie every Friday, we drive to rainbow beach and tin can bay a few times each week so there are plenty of opportunities to get around, I (Emma) also like to take jasper out most days to do something fun like visit the strawberry farm or to feed the dolphins you can join in on these activities too. We are happy, welcoming people and are keen to have you join our family.

Help
We are looking for extra help around the house, jobs would be varied from walking the dogs, cleaning, gardening, cooking, watching Jasper, packing bags. We start early in the morning from around 6am to prepare for the days deliveries so 3 days a week would require a 6.30 starts to help with the morning routine for a few hours, other days/hours will be more flexible but we can work that out together so everyone is happy with the arrangement and knows what their doing each day.
