  Description

  We're a family of 4 in the central North Island who are just looking for some assistance in general household chores and child pick-up during the week. Our girls are 9 and 11 and very good fun. (We are currently looking after a dog, which will require some walking daily.)
  
  NB: Our spare room is currently without a bed. We can supply a blow-up for short stays and can provide a proper one, should we agree on a longer period.
