Hi I'm Jen and I live on a farm about 2 hours from Sydney in the beautiful Southern Highlands. Together with my son, we have a variety of pets on the farm including a dog and young puppy, horses, donkeys chickens, sheep, kangaroos and even pet cow who lives in our back yard.
On the farm we also have a tennis court and ball machine, basketball hoop, bicycles, ping pong and pool table.
Note this is not a farmwork job - I have skilled people for the farm business and workawayers won't be doing this. I am only looking for help in my private home and farmstay (cooking, cleaning, helping with animals, painting and other jobs around the house) and in the garden and outdoors daily checking of the pet donkeys, horses, dogs and chickens .
Must love dogs and horses and be comfortable living on a farm in the countryside. Also a bonus if you are familiar enough with horses so you can help with grooming and rugging my horses - although i can teach this if you are willing.
We love having workawayers but I work off the farm as well which can involve travel, so we prefer independent and responsible individuals who don't require my constant supervision. You'll have your own bedroom with share bathroom with one other person. Meals are provided however you are also welcome to supplement with your own if you have particular tastes or requirements.
Also given our location this workaway works best for someone or a couple with their own car - though this is not essential it's just what has worked best in the past - however we can work around it with enough coordination. Be aware that the nearest town is a 30 minute drive away, so you will ideally enjoy a peaceful rural lifestyle to enjoy this experience.

I'm looking for workawayers to assist with cooking, cleaning, running errands, helping in the garden, sweeping the tennis court, playing with the dogs and helping to care for our animals.
Would be a bonus if you are comfortable with horses so you can help with feeding/grooming/rugging my horses.
I also love renovating and doing jobs around the house so be prepared to roll up your sleeves and have some fun!
We are a very active family so not really suited to couch potatoes - our workawayers tend to be active and enjoy being busy and trying new things, and also happy to spend some time on their own when we are busy with work/school/activities which involves travel away from home at times.
Also you will fit in well if you are tidy, polite, are good at listening and have good attention to detail.

Algo más...
We are in the Southern Highlands 90 minutes drive from Sydney. It's a beautiful area. The farm is peaceful, beautiful, lovely place to spend time and there's lots of things to see locally - or you can take the train to Sydney for daytrips or spending time there at your own arrangement.

I work from home there is wifi but can be very slow and mobile data is much faster and more reliable - suggest you try it before committing if this is likely to be an issue for you.
Espacio para aparcar autocaravanas
Plenty of space at the farm to park vehicles, caravans, vans etc. Also beautiful secluded spots on the farm you are most welcome to camp out with the kangaroos and wombats and kookaburras!!
