  Description

  We are a busy family of 3. Trent works full time in a busy professional job. The kids are 9 and 11.
  
  Our hobbies include 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 and general help around the property. We can also offer surf lessons and skiing during the right seasons.
  
  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.
