Description
We are a family of 5 living in rural Wairarapa - 20minutes from Masterton. Our children are 4, nearly 3 & 10 months. We run an Angus Cattle stud and have 2000 breeding ewes. There is always something to be done around the property, we are looking for extra support with general maintenance, gardening, planting, painting plus support with the children. I also work as a registered nurse in Emergency at our local hospital so childminding on occasion is also required.
The wairarapa has lots to offer from beautiful beaches to stunning bush walks and quant towns. We are an hour from Castlepoint beach, an hour and a half from Wellington and 45minutes from Martinborough.

Help
I have lots of planned projects around the property including developing our vegetable/fruit garden, building a chicken coop, planting hedges & natives around the farm, forming paths, fencing & painting. We also require help with general maintenance. No specific skills are required but good initiative, hard working attitude and friendly nature is essential.
Would be recommended that you have your own vehicle given we are rural in location.
