  Description

  About us:
  We are a young Australian family (Stefan and Bronte) with a 1 year old daughter , 3 year old daughter, and a 5year old son . We are vegetarian, lefties, progressive, science focused, and LGBT friendly house hold.
  
  Our house is a busy and hectic one with the kids and animals!
  In saying this we have a caravan that is fully self contained with kitchen, aircon, shower, lounge and toilet. So you would have your own peaceful space to look out into the rainforest.
  
  If you love young kids, and a family environment this is the place for you.
  
  Our Work and hobbies:
  Adimitedly we don't have much time for hobbies now that we have kids!
  Our background is science in the fields of Marine Biology and Ecology.
  Currently Stefan works at a school as a teacher and Bronte is staying at home looking after the baby and attempting to study. We love hanging out in the garden with our kids and animals. Other things we enjoy are walks in nature looking for animals and at plants, gardening, hanging out with our family and friends when we get a spare moment from work and looking after the kids, animals and house.
  
  About our Home stay:
  We both love animals which is why we have a couple!
  Our Animals:
  4 Turkeys
  3 Muscovy ducks
  5 Cats
  Several Poultry
  1 Border Collie
  
  We are seeking someone to help who:
  
  ~Can help Bronte with daily cleaning chores around the house.
  ~Someone who loves kids, who doesn't mind doing a bit of child care while Bronte is doing cleaning around the house.
  ~A kind hearted animal lover to help us with the care of our animals.
  
  Because we have 3 young children our house hold is a quiet (aside from the noise the kids make), safe and peaceful place for non- partiers. We are a non smoking house hold.
