Description
Hi, I’m Tanja 😊
I live in a peaceful, creative home on the Gold Coast, just a short walk to the beach, parks, cafes, and HOTA (Home of the Arts).
I’m currently transforming my home into a calm, wellness-inspired sanctuary — with greenery, outdoor styling, and a relaxing spa-style space.
I enjoy painting, being near the water, and creating beautiful, peaceful environments.
This is a relaxed, independent home — perfect if you enjoy your own space, nature, and a slower pace.
I’m friendly and enjoy a chat or shared meal sometimes, but I’m naturally someone who values quiet and independence.
This home suits someone who is respectful, self-sufficient, calm, and happy working independently 🌿

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You’ll be staying in a unique Gold Coast location, close to beaches, parks, and local arts culture.
I’m always open to cultural exchange and love learning new creative skills — especially from those with an artistic, practical, or holistic background.
I’d be happy to share local tips, peaceful spots, and simple meals — and I’m always open to learning something from you too 😊
Help
The heavy groundwork is done — now I’m looking for someone practical and reliable to help bring everything together.
Tasks are varied and flexible depending on your skills:
• Garden tidy-up, weeding, pruning (especially lime tree 🌱)
• General outdoor clean-up and organisation
• Creating and styling the outdoor wellness area
• Painting the shed and outdoor areas
• Building a simple cover for pool equipment
• Running/setting up outdoor lighting
• Light DIY and practical finishing touches
Optional indoor tasks (lighter):
• Decluttering and organising (especially wardrobe)
• Light cleaning and home styling
We’ll keep things flexible and match tasks to your strengths 👍
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Accommodation
Your own private room
• Access to a separate kitchen space (so you can enjoy your independence)
• 25 hours per week in exchange for accommodation
Food:
I provide food on working days (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), and we keep things simple and flexible so it works comfortably for both of us 😊
• Use of bikes 🚲, pool, and outdoor space
• Calm, peaceful home environment
What else ...
📍 PRIME LOCATION
• Beach: 20-minute walk
• Surfers Paradise: 10-minute bike ride
• HOTA (Home of the Arts): 10–12 minute walk (gallery, theatre, markets, lagoon, cafes)
• Supermarkets: 12-minute walk (Woolworths, Coles, Aldi + Post Office)
• Shops & food: directly across the road (cafes, takeaway, grocery options)
• Bus stop: less than 1-minute walk
House Rhythm & Expectations
I like to keep a calm, respectful, and easygoing home environment.
This is a space where we work together during the agreed hours, and outside of that, everyone enjoys their own independence and downtime.
A few simple things that help everything flow nicely:
• Being reliable and taking pride in your work
• Cleaning up after yourself (especially shared spaces)
• Keeping noise and energy calm and respectful
• Communicating openly and kindly
I really value a peaceful home, so this suits someone who is naturally considerate, tidy, and happy to take initiative 🌿

Availability
I currently have availability between April 30th and May 6th, and would love help during this time.
If you’re available for any part of that window, I’d love to hear from you ✨
💌 Getting in touch
If this sounds like a good fit, I’d love to hear from you 😊
When you message, it would be really helpful if you could include:
• A bit about your practical or hands-on experience (gardening, DIY, organising, etc.)
• How you usually like to live in a shared home
• Your rough dates and how long you’d like to stay
This just helps make sure it’s a great match for both of us 🌿
