Descripción
I am originally from England, arriving in NZ with a back-pack but have now lived in NZ for many years. My 3 adult kids have been workawayers in their time and I thought I could repay a little of the hospitality they experienced. My home is a quiet and comfortable space to spend time in (I think so anyway!) which I share with my cat, Pippi.
The work is not too hard - mostly cleaning around the house, cooking some meals and weeding in the garden. Approx 4 hours per day, 5x days per week, but very flexible around this too. The room I usually have available has a double bed, (so friends would need to share).
I live in Onehunga, quite close to the airport and on good direct bus routes into the city. Walking distance to shops, banks, supermarkets and cafes.
Mine could be a good place to begin or end your NZ stay.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje
