  Help

  Help around home! We are fairly busy family and looking for someone to help with everyday life. Cooking dinner, cleaning the house, doing the laundry, gardening or minor DIY. Occasional babysitting if you are open to it. Three of our children are at school so making snacks for lunch boxes if you like cooking.
  
  With myself now studying the extra help will free up some time for me to focus on that. We love to travel and have recently been workawayers ourselves in Indonesia for 2 months.
  
  We will supply food for meals and you’re welcome to join us for dinner whenever you like. Likewise with family adventures out of the house - be part of the family or time to yourself. We’re very flexible in that regard.
