  Description

  Kia ora - My name is Jessie and my husband is Jared ~ we have 3 boys. Ages 8, 5 and 1 years old. I work from home teaching 3 other children 3days per week while my older 2 children attend school. My husband works Fulltime doing long hours on the farm. If you choose us to stay with you will have your own self contained cottage to yourself. It has a bathroom, laundry, kitchen, dining, bedroom and lounge. With a deck on the front to enjoy the New Zealand sunshine. If you can help us out for a few hours each week day in exchange for accomodation and food that would be ideal. We live on a 3rd generation family farm in the rural Hawkes Bay of New Zealand. With plenty of fun outdoor things to do around the region you wont be bored - caves are just down the road, Mahia beach, Gisborne is a day trip and Napier city is more of an overnight trip.
  
  We currently have 6 working dogs, 11 chickens, 3 pigs, 3 cats, 2 pet dog and a few thousand sheep/cattle.
  
  We are based in a small rural town called Nuhaka ~ 30 minutes from the beautiful Mahia beach, 45 minutes from Wairoa, 1 hour from Gisborne and 2 hours from Napier. Having your own car/vehicle is a must as we do live rurally on a farm with no public transport around. We dont mind picking up and dropping off from the local airport but please understand we can not drive you around in your free time, so your own vehicle is ideal.
  
  Things we are looking for in exchange for accomodation and food:
  - Gardening
  - Cleaning
  - Firewood chopping/stacking
  - Farm work like digging holes for fence posts
  - Possibly the odd night of babysitting
  
  We have never done this before but my sister has so we are just putting it out there to see if there is anyone suitable to help with the kids, do a bit of gardening, house cleaning and/or feeding the pets if we go away ~ in exchange for housing and food 😊.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We live rurally enough to be able to hunt for deer/goats when needed, the beautiful Mahia beach is 30minutes away where we spend most summer weekends and the big cities of Gisborne and Napier are not too far to enjoy a weekend or day away.
  
  Your own transport is a must 🚗
