    Description

    We are looking for a female traveling independently to support our daughter with homework and basic household tasks.
    Ideally this person will have a drivers licence, be able to assist a 10yr old with grade 4 homework’s (primarily maths and English) and be able to assist 10yr old with basic cooking cleaning and pet care.

    My husband works a 7/7 roster and I work full time for 6 months of the year.

    Accomodation is a queen size bed in house with shared bathroom when both parents at work.
    There is also a new caravan or liveable demountable with own bathroom, adjacent to property house that you’re welcome to use on non contact days.
    If you can speak French, that is a bonus, but definitely not a requirement.
