  Description

  We are a welcoming family of 1 parent, 2 children, 1 dog & some small fish who are living on Kaurna Country about 3kms from Brighton Beach, 3 kms from Flinders University & 12kms from the centre of Tarndanya - the city of Adelaide!
  Public transport hub is a 5 minute walk.
  
  I am Suzanne and I work full time in & on a Web3 business from home - helping children design the education journey they want to have so they can get to become who they were born to be.
  
  Jaxon is 11 and Saffron is 10 and they both attend school Monday - Friday & it is less than a 10minute drive away.
  
  Public Transport (bus & train) & a major shopping centre is a 5 minute walk away. There are bike paths that take you to many destinations including Ityamaiitpinna Yarta - Glenthorne National Park. We do have bikes that you can share, if the children or I are not using them.
  
  We have been sharing our living spaces since 2017, throughout Adelaide, to visiting artists for Fringe, friends from within the community needing a safe & comfortable space before they return home, either within Australia or somewhere else in the world.
  
  Are you:
  - Friendly, safe and enjoy being around children and pets?
  - Reliable and can work independently?
  - Respectful of our home and family routines?
  - Previous experience with children and/or gardening, general house maintenance , painting?
  
  Please read the Workaway Guidelines because you are working with children and a police check from your country and a reference would be gratefully welcomed.
