    Description

    As a Melbourne native, I am passionate about my city and think it is truly one of the greatest places to spend time in. I relish the opportunity to show others around the place I grew up and am deeply familiar with.
    We are an environmentally conscious, progressive family of four living in Melbourne's north. Our house has a beautiful native garden and is minutes walk from the Darebin Creek. We are friendly, welcoming and generous. We love Australia's natural environment and take opportunity to get out into nature whenever we can (bushwalking, swimming etc).

    We're excited to share our knowledge of life in Melbourne. As stated, I have lived in Melbourne my whole life, so know the best places to explore both in the city as well as the best spots in Victoria. We are generous and flexible and would want anyone staying with us to treat the place like their own. Please get in touch if you are interested.

    We’re a family of four living in Melbourne's inner northeast, with two young kids (ages 2 and 4). We work hard like most modern families- I am a secondary school teacher also studying part time and my husband is a mechanical engineer working in renewable energy. We’re looking for someone who can give us a hand with childcare here and there.
    This would include:
    - Interacting/ playing with the children
    - Flexible childcare minding around work hours and for a portion of the weekend (hours and time would need to be negotiated).
    - Help around busy times of the day (getting out of the house in the morning and the bedtime routine).

    We can offer a comfortable room, meals, and plenty of free time to explore Melbourne. We live walking distance to public transport, making exploring the city and surrounds easy.

    We are looking for someone who likes being around little kids, is reliable and easygoing. Ideally, we’re looking for someone who’d like to stay for a longer period (6 weeks or more).
