  Description

  We are a young and open-minded family living in the beautiful Waimakariri District, about 10 minutes by car from Oxford township and 40 minutes by car from Christchurch.
  
  We are a bilingual family (Mum is German, Dad a Kiwi), and we love the cultural exchange with other nations.
  
  We have got a beautiful lifestyle farm with horses, cattle, dogs, and cats therefore animal lovers would be perfect.
  
  We offer a modern, cosy caravan with toilet and shower facilities, a TV with a large DVD collection, WiFi, yummy food and power. There are several beautiful hiking tracks in the area (Mount Oxford, Mount Thomas, Wharfedale Track etc.) for you to explore in your freetime.

  Aide

  Our family is looking for a single person or couple who could help with childcare and maintenance work (gardening, painting etc.). Couple needs to be travelling together and have their own vehicle to get around in their free time. We need someone to drop the children off at preschool at 8.30 in the morning and pick them up at 4 pm during the week. During the week you will be looking after them before drop off and after pick-up (up to four hours). If both parents work on the weekend, childcare will be required for up to four hours. We will provide a car for preschool drop offs and pick ups of course. Childcare times may vary depending on work commitments, sometimes you won’t be required on one day, but maybe an hour longer the next day:
  
  
  Our children are currently 2.5 and 4 years old, therefore someone who has experience with small children would be fantastic. Must be patient and nurturing, independent, energetic and fun-loving.
