  Description

  We are a small suburban family. My wife and i are both professionals working full time. We have two boys, an active 8 year old and a 3 year old toddler. We live in a north western suburb of Sydney called Norwest, 35 min bus/train or car ride from the city center. We have a fully furnished room and a separate washroom that can be occupied.
  
  We are willing to host upto 2 ladies if they are willing to share the bedroom and the responsibilities.
  
  Our main expectation is to provide support at home with daily chores and occasionally taking care of the kids for a few hours couple of days. We do not expect total work per week to exceed 17 hours but if it does, we can compensate for the overtime.
  
  Other than that, the expected help around the house is like loading/unloading dishwasher after meals, doing and folding laundry and guiding and helping kids to clean up after playing or eating, stuff like that.
  
  All living expenses will be covered such as food, rent, bills etc. We are willing to cover extra groceries with in reason if there are special dietary requirements.
  
  Ofcourse it's expected you will keep tidy the facilities you use like the room, washroom and kitchen. Even though the toilet would be most be available for you but since it is a shared bath, we expect it to be clean in case we have guests over or for use within family if the other toilet is occupied. Saying it up front as we previously had an unpleasant experience.
  
  A few restrictions though. We are a very open family, however we do not allow alcohol, smoking, drugs and pork in the home. Outside of the house, you are free to do whatever you want.
  
  We will welcome you as part of our family, let you join in our festivities, go around on outings, watch movies and series and just have a good chat. We will be happy to host you. Take care, stay well and safe travels. :)

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are an open minded Pakistani-Australian muslim family. When we say that, trust me whatever image that comes to your mind, we're far from it (no, i am not a bearded person and my wife isnt covered head to toe in a veil =P). We have our traditions and values but something that will pleasantly surprise you. We have been in Sydney since 2018 so we know our way around here.
  
  We love to eat, so if you can cook your local dishes, thats a bonus (we will get you the ingredients, no financial burden on you :)).

  As mentioned before as well, other than help with children, help with minor home chores would be appreciated like loading/unloading dishwasher or helping fold clothes. Occasional dusting in the living areas etc. We are willing to work together on a system where we can plan on the hours needed so you have plenty of time to yourself.

  What else ...

  All facilities are walking distance. It's a 40 min bus or train ride to the city centre. Both modes of transport 7 min walk away. There's a shopping mall 7 min walk away as well with all the shops and restaurants. You could find jobs here or in the city or just free to explore on your own.
  
  There are plenty of beaches in Sydney and the Blue Mountains to explore which would be like an hour and half on public transport max from our apartment.
