Description
I am a mum of 3 children aged 8, 6 and 3 years old and we live next to the beach in sunny Coffs Harbour.
If you like surfing (or want to learn to) and walks in nature you will love it here.
The children spend a good portion of time with their dad so aren’t around all the time. But when they are it can be a little noisy. I also travel a bit for work so you could be alone at times. I am here to share my home with, ideally a couple, but am open to all. I am close to shops and can share the car if you need it. You will live in the house with us but have your own bathroom and full use of the kitchen. 😊
I live in a 5 bedroom home on a house block (not a farm) so you will be able to watch your own tv shows in a separate lounge if you need to relax. There is also a pool. Its currently winter but you might like a cold plunge? Hehe.
I did cultural and university exchanges when I was younger and loved it. I know how nice it is to get to know an area from a local’s perspective. I also know you’re going to want the freedom to explore and meet others.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You can enjoy living next to the beach
You can practice your English if you want
I am more than happy to bring you along to social events I attend if you're interested and dinners with my family who live nearby.
If you want to learn to ride a horse I can help. My families farm with horses, cows, chickens and sheep is 20 minutes away.
I am a lawyer in NSW if this is something you find interesting
I would love to get to know you and life where you're from, the foods you like to eat and hobbies you enjoy.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
In exchange I’d love your help 4-5 hours for 5 days per week (flexibly if want to see some sights) with the following:
• Gardening
• General domestic cleaning
• Cook once or twice a week (so I can learn some cooking ideas and broaden my horizons from you)
• Occasional childcare
• A little house painting, maintenance and bits and bobs- those little tasks I keep meaning to get around to but never quite do.
Some things we can do together, others might be you and some music or a podcast.
Please reach out if this sounds interesting to you.

English: Fluent
Accommodation
You will live in the house with us but have your own room with Queen bed and bathroom. There is another single bed if you have an extra. There is a separate lounge you are also free to use if the children are home and you want some time out.
There is a pool and you can walk to the beach or scenic coastal tracks. I will provide food for 3 meals a day. Workaways may need to cook for themselves if I am away but this won't be often. I'm also interested in learning recipes and cooking ideas from you so we can cook together too.
A little more information
Internet access
Limited internet access
We have pets
We are smokers
Can host families
Can host digital nomads
We have NBN broadband. If you need to work certain hours of the day I am happy to be flexible with this.
Space for parking camper vans
This would be set up in the driveway but you access power and water from there. A small camper can be in the backyard but we would need to check size. Over Christmas lots of my neighbours have campers in their front yard as visitors come to make the most of the holidays so it would not be unusual.
Can possibly accept pets
The backyard is safe for dogs.
How many Workawayers can stay?
More than two
