  Description

  UPDATE:
  Greetings all
  Its a peaceful and sunny place near the beach, train and walking trails, shops 20 minute walk - on the Kāpiti Coast near Wellington.
  There are several cats, that are calm and friendly and that are used to a routine ( kept in at night). So cat experience and rapport is essential. Ideally you would be home quite a bit too.
  Please get in touch with me if you would like to know more. Thanks
  
  The garden part is first this time and it’s physical work digging, weeding, mulching etc, so you need to be fairly strong and fit and ideally experienced. The exchange is food and accommodation, for about 4 1/2 hours work a day.

  Hi, I'm Angela and I live in Paekakariki, a small beach village about 30 km North from Wellington. There is a good train service from the city. It has cafes, a local sauna, a very large park and is ideal for cycling, swimming and walking - being on the Te Araroa trail. The house is an older home in a large garden. There are bicycles available for use. I have five beautiful cats so it’s purrfect for cat lovers. 😸😸😸😸😸
  
  I often need help with projects - like building a fence or making a garden. Sometimes it is for cat and house sitting if I am away.
  
  
  One thing to note, I am a yoga teacher and long time meditator. So giving the moment full attention is what we aim for. For that reason I prefer that no devices are used while we are working. This may not suit everyone. 🤔
  
  there are the five gorgeous cats to care for (and they will care for you too). This would suit one person who loves cats. As well as cat care, it’s day to day house care ( plants, bins etc) and the exchange is accommodation only. You would need to be reliable and happy to keep to a feeding routine with the cats and play with them, it’s about 2 hours a day.
  
  You are welcome to get in touch and ask questions. Then perhaps we can have a WhatsApp chat. I look forward to hearing from you. 😊😻

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Paekakariki is an interesting village with a lot of music and events. There is a group called the Mermaids that swim in the sea every morning, a community garden group and lots of other things. When I am there I am happy to share my lifestyle. I am a yoga and meditation teacher and vegetarian, so I'm happy to show you some recipes and do some yoga.

  Aide

  For the cat/house minding you would need to feel comfortable with cats and ideally love them and have some cat experience. They will be a bit shy at first, but don't take long to get used to new people. You would need to keep them in at night and feed them and spend some time giving them attention. The garden would need watering on dry days.
  
  For the garden and projects, practical experience are very helpful.

  The accommodation is a self contained cottage in the garden if available. Other times it is inside the house.

  Autres infos...

  The train goes regularly to the city and takes 45 minutes. You can also take a bicycle on the train. In the other direction it is one stop to Paraparaumu, which has a lot of shops. There are a lot of walks and places to visit.
  My lifestyle is a quiet mindful one, we don't wear outside shoes inside and aim to keep the house clean and tidy. I meditate morning and night and its a good place here to rest and enjoy the natural environment. I prefer minimal technology when we are working together.

  The internet is quite fast and stable. You would need to arrange work around feeding the cats, though there is some flexibility with that. When I'm here late night calls are not practical but when I'm away its fine.

  Espace pour garer des vans

  The parking is on the street, but it is wide, quiet and fairly level. It may be possible to park in the drive and plug in to power too.
