Description
Hi There
We are a French (Charline 38) Kiwi (Jon 50) couple we are living in Methvenfor 8 years now.
We also have a kids Calypso she is 2
The Cat Toby spend most of his day on outside and Blue the dog who will be happy to play (very friendly)
We need someone to help us at home with the everyday cleaning and gardening as well as looking after our daugther.
We will keep you busy don't worry.
The best for us is to start by one week stay and see how is it going and if we get along,( 3.5 to 4 hours a day is fair, I think it's better to work in the morning as in the afternoon it's getting hot in summer)
It would be better for you to have your own car (street park available) , to visit the Hakatere national park or travelling around on your time off.
One double bed bedroom in the house (with separate door that you can come and go be private) with shared bathroom, Diner (and of course accomodation) would be provided in exchange of 3.5 to 4 hours a day (6 days on 1 days off, but you can cumulate your hours to go on a trip around), we don't provide breakfast nor Lunch. Only Diner
We accomodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten free or dairy free diet (I am celiac) no worries for that :) or any food allergy.
Methven is a very nice place to live very picturesque little Kiwi town very animated for skying in winter with Mount Hutt.
There is all facilities near by (shops, restaurants, pubs....)
The must see around are : Rakaia Gorge, Mount Hutt, Mount Somers, Lake Coloridge, Ashburton lakes, Akaroa (2h) , Geraldine, Lake Tekapo (1.40h), Charistchurch (1h20), Hakatere (1h)
We don't want party animals as we like quiet time here, we enjoy good companie and good chat around a good diner.
We don't want smokers, I stopped myself years ago and don't like the smell of it at all :(
