  Description

  I am a single mum with two kids (girl 8 years old, and boy 12 years old), and a dog. Our girl sing in a choir and our boy is super interested in Mountain Biking and playing piano.
  
  I am hoping to find someone that could help me around the house, with whatever, maybe a bit of cooking, cleaning, gardening, playing with the kids, taking the dog for a walk. We can offer you your own bedroom. We would eat meals together or you would be free to help yourself to whatever foods you would like.
  
  I live on a big property, close to Bowraville, so more rural living, but absolutely beautiful and only 10 min to the nearest beach.
  
  This is a great opportunity for you to see this part of Australia, which is beautiful. We would love to hear from you!
