Hi,
I am looking for a single female or couple to help me with gardening and general house maintenance and sometimes house-sitting.
Ideally you have some gardening/ landscaping/ tool experience.
I live on a peaceful 7 acre property 15 minutes drive to Jimboomba (1 hour south of Brisbane) with my twin girls (16) during school days and part of school
holidays and our large friendly dog Bentley ,and his friend Quincy the cat😄
I have lived and travelled a lot overseas and in Australia and would love to hear your travel stories.
I enjoy healthy eating, yoga, meditation, outdoor activities such as cycling, hiking, kayaking, camping and also card games.
We’ve also recently repaired our piano and restrung my guitar and they are waiting for happy musical fingers🤣🎼
We try to live in a positive, joyful and compassionate way (which is sometimes challenged by my lovely typical teenage daughters🤪).
We live on beautiful peaceful 7 acres in the countryside with lots of space, trees and native animals, a lovely pool for the warmer months and an outdoor fire pit and indoor fire place for the winter, 4 hammocks, decks and places to chill or just enjoy the sounds of birds.
If you need a break from travelling and sharing noisy backpacker rooms or want some nature time this might be great for you.
You will have your own furnished room,
3 meals a day and share a bathroom with my daughters when they’re home.
You might eat breakfast and lunch on your own but we try to share dinners together.
We have Starlink wifi in the house and Optus and Vodaphone mobile phones work but not Telstra Mobile phones.
We are located in beautiful countryside surrounded by farms 60km south of Brisbane and 65km west of the Gold Coast (each about 1 HOUR BY CAR away). The nearest towns for shopping are Jimboomba and Beaudesert each 15 min away by car.
There are many wonderful places nearby to explore if you have your own car including rain forest, water falls, markets, places for cycling, hiking, kayaking and SUPing.
Or you can walk or cycle from our house in our neighbourhood with big hills for a great workout💪😄.
I also have yoga mats, dumbbells and a rowing machine you can use.
There are many beautiful beaches 1 hour drive away.
If you don’t have a car I’m happy to pick you up from a train station nearby.
You may be able to get a lift to the Gold Coast for the weekend when the girls go there to stay with their Dad. You could stay in a hostel on the Gold Coast and enjoy some of the excitement and beaches there and get a lift back here Monday morning.
If this interests you I’d love to hear from you😊
