  • Description

    Description

    We are a friendly family with three children, 4 years, 2 years and 6 month old baby, two cattle dogs and live on a one acre block only a short distance to town.

    We moved to Dalby in 2022 and loving our country life here.

    We’re looking for the right person who wants to experience some rural lifestyle and help out our family with basic duties such as cleaning, cooking, feeding dogs and keeping our toddler busy. We also have projects around the house such as building garden beds, planting lots of trees and installing a chicken pen if this is something you're interesting with helping to do.

    We’re very easy going family. Daniel is a professional worker locally and enjoys playing AFL football, cooking and country music (he doesn’t play it all the time don’t worry). Annabel is entrepreneurial and runs a home baking business making yummy cakes, cupcakes, cookies etc. and would be happy to teach you baking skills if you're interested.

    We’re looking for someone who is friendly, enjoys peace and quiet lifestyle during the week and children.
