Welcome to our family. Dad Ben, Mum Brenna and two young children Bryony (10) and Coen (7). We are a busy, hard working, happy, and fun family.
Our large near new home is built on our small one hectare rural lifestyle block situated in the Eastern Waikato in the country near the town of Morrinsville, NZ. We look over our two small paddocks with our Ewes and their lambs and further out into a picturesque valley of surrounding dairy farms.
Ben and Brenna are employed as a full time shift workers.
We are very lucky to live in a small close nit rural community who's members are all very friendly and all look out for each other. The community revolves around our great, small country school.

You would benefit from living with a genuine hard working kiwi family in the picturesque rural setting, with freedom to explore the many tourist destinations handy to the Waikato.
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
We need an extra pair of hands to assist with day to day running of the household, childcare, shopping etc when Brenna and Ben's work commitments clash.
You will be part of our family while staying with us.
You will largely be supporting either Brenna or Ben or both, but from time to time be sole charge. You will be helping with the following:
Childcare, drop offs and pickups from school or sports, some meal preparation, other standard household tasks.
You may also be asked to help with gardening and other outdoor jobs.
We will have available a vehicle for your use to transport the children, and be available for your personal use during time off.
