    Description

    Hello, my name is Leny (61yo f). I live in a big beautiful 1920 arts and crafts house in Launceston with my adult son Akira, my dog Amira and cat Ghibli. I have just sold a house and now I have moved all my stuff from that house to this house I need help sorting and organising it. It’s a big, daunting job that I have been putting off. I need support deciding what to sell, give away, throw out etc. We also need help with cleaning and gardening. We’re pretty casual about hours etc and if you like cooking we’d love you to cook for us sometimes. We can offer you a big, beautiful room with free wifi.

    We live in a house, NOT A FARM, we don't have the authority to help you get your visa, sorry. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ especially welcome.

    We also have a house (and a house truck) right in the centre of Campbell Town, a small historic town very conveniently located on the highway 67km from Launceston and 134 km from Hobart. We are a few doors down from the very picturesque 'Red Bridge' the oldest bridge on a highway in Australia.

    What else ...

    Campbell Town is a small town on the highway between Launceston and Hobart. Lots of nice shops, including an excellent book shop, lolly shop and some galleries and a museum. The old bridge and many buildings were built by convicts. There are a few buses a day that will get you to/from Hobart or Launceston.
