Unique cultural experience with our young, modern family in Lake Macquarie, New South Wales Australia

Infos

  Description

  We are a young family living in Lake Macquarie, Newcastle with our almost three year old daughter Leo and our lovely dogs Eddie and Dot!
  
  We are looking for someone fun, caring and easy going to join out family and spend a few days a week playing with and caring for Leo and helping out with some work around the house, anything from basic housekeeping to gardening/ landscaping work. Will (dad) is an engineer working in the Tech industry and works full time and Olina (mom) has been a stay at home mom but also runs a small furniture Restoration business.
  
  We would love anyone with a different cultural background and language skills as we love integrating different cultures into our home. Olina is half Czech and grew up in Hong Kong so knowing Czech or Mandarin would be a huge bonus, but we are certainly more than open to all backgrounds! Our two year old daughter Leo is a very active little girl and loves to play all day long! Someone with experience in nannying/ childcare/ education would be ideal and that isn’t afraid of some adventure.
  
  We are a very active and outdoorsy family and love to go the beach and go hiking and or camping! We also eat quite healthily and love to cook so anyone who enjoys food should hopefully enjoy!
  
  Lake Macquarie is a lovely quiet place to spend some time and there are lovely parks, walks, lakeside spots and beaches all within a half hour :)

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We like to think we offer a slightly unique cultural experience as a young and modern Australian family! Will is a multigenerational Australian and has family in Orange and Brisbane so enjoys both the country and city side of Australia.
  
  Olina is first generation Australian and is half Czech half American. She speaks Czech with her family and grew up in Asia until she came back to Aus for high school.
  
  We love different food and cultures and making connections with people who have different views and experiences. We hope we can explore our beautiful country together and learn from each other’s differences along the way.

  Aide

  We are looking for someone with experience in either education, childcare and or nannying, or with basic experience gardening/landscaping.
  Our daughter is Almost three so does not require much formal teaching but someone who understands how to engage and have fun with kids would be great. She is a very happy and outgoing girl, and just loves to play and have fun and swim at the lake or beach.
  
  If you don’t have much experience with kids, that’s also okay as we are open to Workaway’s with more of a physical background in gardening/ landscaping.
  
  We are very open minded and fun loving, and enjoying eating together as a family and would consider you part of our team during your stay :)

  You would have your own bedroom downstairs with its own toilet and shower. Our home is spacious and open with a large back yard perfect for playing with Leo and the dogs :)
  
  We live on the west side of Lake Macquarie which is beautiful and about an hour and a half from Sydney and only 30 minutes from the beaches.

  Autres infos...

  We are mainly looking for help with Our daughter Leo and or gardening work to be done. We are flexible people and open to what suits you and your skills best. With your time off you are free to explore and relax as you please! There is so much to do and see around the areas and if you want to go away for a few days you are more than welcome! We can help if you need a lift to/ from places close by as well!
  
  We just ask that people understand we are a young family and that smoking and being loud/ up super late so not something that would really work with our dynamic. If you’re looking to party this is probably not the place for you unfortunately!
