Hi there,
We are a happy Kiwi-German family living in a large house in Central Auckland (Epsom).
Janina and Peter value healthy and conscious living. We love good food, music and dancing, nature, having fun together and spending time with our boys (8.5-year-old Keanu and 8-month-old baby Eden). We also have a male flatmate who works full time.
Keanu is a creative and energetic boy who loves to move and spend time outside biking, skateboarding, playing football and tennis. He speaks fluent German. Keanu spends some days at his father's house.
Eden is our very happy baby who loves to interact, laugh and explore his world, especially outside.
Janina loves nature and is passionate about holistic education and empowering children to discover their strengths and confidence through play in the outdoors. She runs a Forest/ Nature School Programme for school aged children in a park close by. (Look up Freedom Kids Nature Play for more info)
Peter is into personal growth and spiritual wisdom and works in those fields. He's also a big fan of music and sport.
Our parenting philosophy is intuitive, loving and respectful. We see our children as competent and active participants. We value uninterrupted play, creativity, nature and connection and fun. Inspired by pedagogic philosophies of Emmi Pikler, Rudolf Steiner, Maria Montessori, Friedrich Fröbel, Peter Gray and a few others :)

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
Learn about kiwi culture from a local, explore Auckland and New Zealand's nature. Peter and I can give you advice on travelling NZ. Epsom is a quiet are close to Maungawhau (Mt Eden) with lots of cafes and restraurants, close to Auckland City but in a nice quiet area. Perfect if you want to get to know the city or as a base for day trips to beaches or nature walks, all within a 45min-1h drive.
Peter is the best person to have some deep conversations about spiritualitly, healing, transformation and growth.
Staying with us is also a perfect learning opportunity for a future career in education!

IDEAL CANDIDATE
Female, mature (22+ years), independent, honest, reliable, clean, good communication skills and easy going. Enjoys being outdoors. Loving and gentle with children, willing to learn. Bonus if you are a confident driver and speak German!
YOUR JOB
Your main responsibilities would be caring for baby Eden, mostly alongside Janina, so she has space to do other work. Also providing household help and spending time with Keanu. Both boys are raised bilingual so a native German speaker would be amazing!
Your role requires you to spend one day a week (Thursday) looking after Eden outside the park where Janina runs her Nature Play programme. This would be your longest working day (8.30am - 3.30pm/4pm).
You would accompany Janina to take care of Eden while she runs the nature programme as he is breastfeeding every 3h or so. Eden loves spending time with the children! Your job is to make sure his needs are met, that he is safe while he explores alongside the other kids, as well as toileting or putting him to sleep as needed.
Other than childcare we would require you to assist with household duties such as laundry, hanging/ folding, kitchen help, cleaning, and possibly gardening.
Workaway says 4-5h a day, but we found it worked better to have days with longer hours and then a few days off. We will go through the weekly plan together to fit in your needs and times off with our schedule.
OTHER INFO
We'd love someone to join us who's keen to be part of our family and happy to take turns cooking dinner as part of communal life once or twice a week, depending on your plans.
We eat mostly vegan/ vegetarian and don't consume meat in our house.
IMPORTANT
No smokers, please.
We have two cats.
2-4 weeks commitment (first week trial). Option to extend for the right person!

Beautiful beaches and Regional Parks (Long Bay, Piha, Wenderholm, Tawharanui etc) within 1h drive
Algo más...
I've got a piano and want to learn to play it if you are a musician and willing to teach me I would be really happy! Looking forward to hearing from you!
