Description
Hi! We’re Danny, Kristy, and little Billy.
We live in the charming seaside town of Russell, located in the stunning Bay of Islands. Russell is a welcoming community with a laid-back vibe, a warm climate, beautiful beaches, and plenty of ocean activities. If you’re lucky, you might even spot some kiwi birds! Plus, the town is rich in fascinating history, offering lots to explore.
As new parents, we could use a helping hand with a few tasks around the house each day to keep things running smoothly. In exchange, you’ll enjoy a cozy, relaxed environment, and we’re happy to share local tips and experiences with you. Our house is just a 10-minute walk from the heart of town, so you’ll be close to all the action.
We’re looking for someone who is easygoing, helpful, and enjoys being part of a family environment and likes babies.
Looking forward to meeting you!

Help
The main help we need is with cleaning and babysitting. Babies eating solids can be incredibly messy—there’s usually food everywhere around the high chair, and the kitchen can get chaotic with dishes and bottles to wash. Our washing machine and dishwasher run multiple times a day to keep up. The general house hold chores and property upkeep can fall behind too. I didn’t anticipate how challenging it would be to care for Billy while also keeping the house tidy, and it can be tough to stay on top of everything while taking care of him.
We also need some help entertaining Billy for an hour or two at a time, some days, when Kristy needs to get some work done.
