Description
We are a small, young family living in the coastal scrub region of Sapphiretown on Kangaroo Island. We are surrounded by wildlife, walking trails, and the ocean.
We are looking for some extra help to get some easy jobs done around the house + property before baby #2 arrives.
Things such as painting, arts projects, gardening, some basic carpentry, general home maintenance, maybe even some babysitting if you're interested (but not essential)!
We will all be sharing our close, cosy home, and living off rainwater together. Maximum 1 week stay inclusive of accommodation + food for around 4-5 hrs of work p/day. Maximum 2 people willing to share a bed.
Or alternatively if you have your own camper/van you can have your own semi-secluded space on the property near the house, while still having access to electricity, bathroom, and internet facilities.
Must be happy to share a small space with 2 large greyhound dogs + a 14 month old baby.

Help
We just need some help as we have our hands full between working and caring for our child. The work is achievable for most people, no specific skills required. Here is an example of potential jobs:
- painting.
- sanding + oiling timber.
- cutting back small trees and bushes.
- potential for garden arts projects if you're interested.

Accommodation
Unique stone-built small home on the edge of Pelican Lagoon Conservation Park; shared accommodation with host family. Surrounded by coastal scrub, wildlife, and nature!
What else ...
It's ideal that you have your own car on the island, however if this isn't possible then we can arrange time for you to possibly use our cars or transport you ourselves.
