Description
We are looking for someone to start in early November!
We are a busy family of four. Trent works full time in a busy professional job. Allie is mum to her two children, works five days a week and manages a boutique holiday apartment which is situated on the property.
We have several animals which need daily care; two horses, three cows, chickens and a dog. Our hobbies include horse riding, surfing, skiing, family time at the beach, taking the children out to the park, beach or playground.
We are looking for someone to come and join us to help out with looking after the children while Allie is at work and to help with caring for and riding the horses. We can also offer surf lessons and skiing during the right seasons (we hold season passes to Mt Ruapehu ski fields).
In return we offer pay (a work visa is required) room and board in a huge house with wifi, internet, and all mod cons. We also have a vehicle our helper will have use of to take the children out or to sight see in their free time. We will also encourage and support you in learning English.
We really hope to find someone happy to pitch in around the place and in return we will show them our wonderful region and give them a taste of kiwi life.Types of help and learning opportunities
