Description
We are a family of 4, Artur from Barcelona, April from Hong Kong, and our 3 year old girl and 5 month old boy, both born here in Australia.
We live in Kuranda, a vibrant beautiful small town in the tropical rainforest, only 25 minutes from the international Cairns Airport.
We grow lots of food, we are very immersed in permaculture, have a huge veggie garden, about 15 chickens free-ranging and have planted about 30 tropical rare fruit trees!
We are looking for a CANTONESE SPEAKER that likes kids to come live with us and help us out (just hang out with one of the kids while mum is attached to the other kid 😅) for a few hours a day a few days a week. Hours are negotiable, something around 20h a week, only.
We want a CANTONESE SPEAKER as our kids first language is Cantonese.
We offer a fully private ensuite room with private toilet and shower, internet of course, all meals included, and access to use a car (automatic) if you have a license. Other options might be available too.
We are super easy going, chill and friendly. Artist backgrounds, music lovers, foodies and love to go out to events in Cairns and things going on!
You can get a job on your days/time off too if you want! And use our car to commute! We are flexible, let's work it out!
