Description
I am a marine biologist, single mother, living with my joyful 4 year old son in Cape Woolamai, 5 min from beautiful ocean beaches. We also have one gorgeous Labrador dog. We live in a quiet area very close to nature walks, surf, and fantastic wildlife, like penguins, seals, whales, koalas, wallabies, and more! We love meeting new people, so send me a message and hope to see you soon :)

Help
I am looking for fun easygoing workawayers to help with minding/playing with my son and general house maintenance & pet care. For example, playing on the beach with my son while I surf (and take turns with you!), or general cleaning around the house, cooking meals and maintaining the garden and vegetable plots, and spending time with our dog. Sometimes I might need help with painting or fixing things around the house.

If you love the coast and the ocean, you will absolutely love Phillip island, you can go surfing, swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding... I have boards that you can borrow.
