Description
Hello, I'm Chelsea, proud parent of two wonderful energetic and curious kids, living on a beautiful property in semi-rural Nana Glen. A peaceful haven where we balance work and family life, as both my partner and myself work from home.
We are working towards transforming our home into a low-maintenance paradise. Current projects include landscaping, creating sustainable gardens, and setting up spaces that are both functional and beautiful.

Help
We are looking for help with, but not limited to, gardening, building projects, help around the house, and general maintenance. If you enjoy working with your hands and being part of a friendly and supportive environment, we'd love to have you join us!
Before your arrival we can discuss our current projects with you. We are also keen to lower expected working hours down to 20 a week and workawayer's supply their own food. We will supply the basics tea, coffee, bread, butter, pasta, rice, and condiments, but again to be discussed on individual stays.
Whilst there is very limited transport from Nana Glen, it would be much more enjoyable if you have your own transport so you can explore the wonderful waterfalls and beaches.
