Description
Hi,

I’m a single Mum with twin girls (11) and a boy (13) that come and stay every 2nd week, a friendly labrador dog and a cat.

I’m getting the family home ready to sell and would like help from a woman to declutter, clean and maybe some light painting Touch ups.

You will have your own furnished room with a desk, own bathroom, free wifi and all meals :-)

My newly renovated 2 storey house is all new inside with big decks around it with wonderful mountain and sunset views.

I live in beautiful Sandgate on Moreton Bay 20km north of Brisbane City with a lovely 12 meter big pool and only 800 meters from the waterfront with many leisure opportunities such as walking, jogging, cycling, water sports, and picnics.
You are welcome to use my SUP board or kayak as there is the ocean and many creeks nearby as well as borrow a bicycle or and in line skates.
There's a direct train line into Brisbane City, taking 35min. There's lots to do visiting our beautiful beaches, islands, national parks, rain forest or relax in the hammock on my large decks😄.

Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you.

I loved my stay at their wonderful home and immediately felt like a part of the family.
They tried to make my stay as comfortable as possible, with showing me the area, driving me to the train whenever needed, supply me with the best food.
My work included cooking, gardening and some houskeeping.
I was only able to stay one week, but long… read more

Really great moments shared with this lovely family !
It is the perfect place if you want to settle a few weeks and share the daily life of an australian familly.
They are friendly, open minded and funny. They share what they can with you, not only good food and a nice (private) room but also conversation, water activities (sailing, paddle...),… read more

Charlotte and her friend Roxie stayed with us for about 2 weeks. They were very hard-working, friendly and independent.

Tina stayed with us for about 4 weeks and Franz joined her during the last 10 days after an overseas work project. Tina was incredibly helpful and supportive when we moved into our new home, cleaning, unpacking, sorting and organising cupboards. I had just had knee surgery and was bed-bound for a few weeks and was so grateful for Tina's help and… read more

I stayed with this great family three weeks, the last one of these together with my boyfriend Franz. I felt very welcome and like a part of the family. I had every time the possibility to take part of their family activities e.g. sailing and paddle boarding.
It didn´t become boring with their three children, every day was full of action and fun… read more

Samira was a wonderful help recently during our big house move! She stayed with us for 2 weeks, worked very hard, cooked amazing food and was great company. We cannot understand how the previous workaway hosts treated her so unfairly and irresponsibly after a horse-riding accident. We were very glad she enjoyed staying with us so much and wish her… read more

Tessa stayed with us for 2 weeks in January 2017 and was a big help during our house move. She was very cheerful and helpful and we enjoyed having her around. Our 3 children ( 8, 8 and 10) also loved playing with her. We wish her all the best and safe travels!

We thoroughly enjoyed having Shaina stay with our family for about 5-6weeks November - December 2016. She was lots of fun, great with our 3 children (aged 8 to 10 years old), a hard worker and a great asset to us when we were in a tough situation with an injury while starting to move house. I would highly recommend Shaina to anyone, whether a… read more
