    We would a volunteer to help. Only self-Motivated people please.
    We have a large house on a farm in the Barossa Valley, an hour from Adelaide. We are able to pick you up from a bus or train station if you need. We have 6 children aged 7-17. They love having workawayers around as you become part of our family!
    I work Monday to Wednesday each week so on these days I need help to get kids ready for school, and keeping up with the housework- dishes, vacuum, laundry, cooking meals, etc. On the rest of the days I am home so if you want to get work elsewhere you could - or travel/visit places you can - all very negotiable. (You can still live with us on these days!)
    We love workawayers that become part of our family. We'd prefer someone who could stay a
    Month at least - we get very attached to you all and can't bear it when you leave us too soon! LOL! But of course, we understand that you're quite often on a short schedule, so let us know what you need and we'll see if we can work something out. We're really flexible!
    Having a drivers licence is essential. Having experience driving if also very important. Having your own car would be beneficial.
    We would prefer someone who is over 22 and they need to be very reliable and self motivated.
    We look forward to meeting you - come and visit us soon!
