Description
Hi there, My name is Maeve and I'm a single mum. My boy is 10 years old. He's active and enjoys surfing, biking and skating, to name a few things. I have had a chronic illness for a few years and I am needing support.
I would love someone really reliable, easy to get on with, who enjoys similar activities as my son, and who has their own transport to drop him off and pick him up from his adventures. We live in a tiny house community which is a 10 minute drive into Raglan town.
We are on the inlet and there is access to the water where you can swim at high tide. We have a view across to the mountain, over town and out to the ocean / the bar. It is a very beautiful location. Anyone interested would need to be a dog lover as we have a few dogs on the land and we take care of them regularly. We also have a cat. Our little section also has a food garden which is in need of t.l.c... and there are plenty of other little maintenance jobs which I need help with.
There are a few building projects underway, if anyone happens to be handy enough to get involved. We are Irish and our neighbours are Italian, English and Kiwi, so there's a nice cultural diversity on the land. I work as an energy healer, and I do need some privacy and respect of the healing space. If you are interested in partying late, drinking a lot / smoking; this isn't the place for you. We are a relaxed / fun loving family, and we are interested in a clean & healthy lifestyle.
