  Description

  We have a 20 acre property 15 min from central Christchurch.
  
  We are a family of 5, with 3 boys aged 13, 12 and 10 so are a busy household. We also run our own business and have a large garden and a variety of animals about the place.
  
  
  We have room for 1 person
  In return for being feed, part of our family, usage of our home and good conversation, we required around 3-4 hours of help per day.
  Jobs would consist of cleaning, gardening, painting , or anything that pops up
  
  Accomodation is within our home, in a small room with a double bed. 0ur house is very private with large lawns surrounded by paddocks. We are not on a bus route however, so you will need own transport.
  
  Internet access, washing etc can be done here, and there is access to a reserve for walks or we are 10min to a beach, or 15min to Christchurch. We are 5 min to our local town of Kaiapoi which has most things you could want or 15 min to airport.
  
  We are an easy going family, but with boys you must be prepared to have noise and excitment, but we are also happy if you want to sneak off and read a book!
