Enjoy comfortable living in Kilbirnie, Wellington, New Zealand

  Descripción

  I am a single mum with shared custody of an engaging 13 year old daughter, plus a little dog, looking for someone to join us from mid-March and stay for 6-8 weeks (or longer).
  
  I am self-employed in an import/export business, and have a large house and garden, the care of which get away from me without assistance!
  The help needed is with domestic tasks (dishes, cleaning etc) in the house, and mostly maintaining the garden and outside of the property. Someone who’s a bit handy and could undertake a few little fix-it jobs would be an added bonus!
  I work full-time, and sometimes need assistance to get Abigail to her various activities, so a full drivers license is required. My elderly mum occasionally needs to be driven places as well - she's a fun lady who provides vibrant and lively conversation.
  
  Abigail is pretty self-sufficient, and of course is only with me half the time, but she has a wide variety of interests and a zany sense of humour... she is easy to spend time with if you can pin her down! We enjoy our international helpers and have created many firm friendships. Our dog, Bobbie, is gentle and easy, but she loves attention and loves going for walks so you must be ok with dogs. On occasion I go out for the evening or away overnight, in which case you are in full charge of her!
  
  Because I ask for people who can stay for several weeks many of our helpers do this work alongside part-time jobs (and sometimes stay for several months!). I do my best to be as flexible as possible to make it work for us both.
  
  Your accommodation is a comfortable, fully furnished room in a fully independent flat which is separate from our house. As I mentioned the garden is large, and on a sunny day is a lovely place to relax.
  
  We live in Kilbirnie, which has a vibrant shopping centre just a few minutes' walk from our house, with a variety of shops including 2 supermarkets and CommonSense Organics.  We are close to the Beach, the swimming pool, the Mt Victoria walkways and only a 15 minute bus ride into Wellington centre.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We have been doing this for several years, so are experienced Workaway hosts. We have enjoyed spending time with the helpers who have stayed with us and have developed firm friendships with many of them.
  
  You will enjoy a comfortable home close to many amenities (city, beach, mountain biking etc). You will have opportunities to do your own exploring of Wellington all it has to offer. For a couple, we find usually one person does the Workaway and the other often works in another job. You will also be welcome to join us to experience "real life" occasions in a Kiwi home.

  I am a single self-employed mum with shared custody of my 13 year old daughter looking for help with household tasks and gardening.
  
  The work is approximately 3 hours a day in exchange for a very comfortable, spacious room in an independent 2-bedroom flat, separate from my house. The flat is shared with another lodger or Airbnb guest.

  Your accommodation is a large double room in a fully furnished, 2 bed-roomed flat/apartment that is separate from my house, so you live fully independently from us.
  
  The apartment has a kitchen, lounge and bathroom that you will share with the occupant/s of the second bedroom. We all share a very sunny garden.

  Algo más...

  Our home is in Kilbirnie. It's less than a 3 minute walk to the local shopping centre (including 2 supermarkets, Post Office, bus stop etc), and a 10-15 minute bus ride into Wellington City. The beach is 1.5km away; the best surfing beach in Wellington! Some lovely walking tracks are only a few hundred meters up the road. There is heaps to do and we are happy to chat about ideas.
  Wellington is an amazing, little city with lots to offer. With hilly bushwalks, rugged coastline and beaches all fringing a vibrant city full of restaurants, art and theatres, and bustling with activities, there is lots to enjoy. Plus, it's the gateway to both the North and South Islands, for your own adventures!
