Description

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
By becoming part of our family, you’ll gain practical experience in childcare, everyday family life, and running a home in a supportive environment. If you enjoy home-cooked food or want to discover more about family-friendly Kiwi activities, we’re happy to share what we know. We’ll also introduce you to New Zealand culture, traditions, and local insights you might not find in a typical guidebook.
You will have plenty of down time during the week when you can enjoy visiting local sights community events and exploring the area with access to car for adventures further away.
What we hope to gain from hosting people from different cultures:
We genuinely enjoy connecting with people from all over the world and learning about different cultures, languages, and traditions. Welcoming a Workawayer into our home gives our family—especially our children—the chance to broaden our perspectives and appreciate different ways of living. We love hearing about your experiences, favourite foods, customs, and stories. It’s a special opportunity to form meaningful connections, create lasting friendships, and share in each other’s way of life.

Help
I’m currently seeking a single Workaway traveler (no couples for now) who would love to take part in a cultural exchange as an au pair. You’d become part of our family while helping out with childcare, along with some light household tasks like cleaning and cooking. The schedule will vary, and in return you’ll be provided with accommodation, meals, use of a car, and the chance to explore our beautiful local beaches, nature spots, and the city.
If you enjoy spending time with children, like to stay active, and are excited about experiencing coastal New Zealand while joining a warm and lively family, we’d be happy to hear from you!
