  Description

  ** FULL until Feb 2026 **
  
  ** Please note we only offer six days or less **
  
  We are a family of three living in the South West of Sydney, near the Georges River. The area is great for walks, the station is 16mins walk away and we are 23 minutes by train from Central station in Sydney. We love Oatley, our hidden leafy suburb, which is like a little village. We travel a lot, love inter-cultural conversations, and have wide interests. Our home is lovely and quiet with a pool. From time to time we need help with household tasks as work and school can become very busy. Your home is the Cabana/granny flat next to the pool. Your help would be highly valued.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We are interested in helping workawayers understand the public transport system (we are deeply involved as a family) and guiding any questions about Australia. We are also plugged into the dancing and choir communities, and latin culture and Chinese culture. We are keen to host people who speak Dutch or French or Spanish as members of our family are learning all those languages, but this isn't first priority. Just meeting one another is.

  Aide

  Gardening, cleaning tasks that we don't get to often enough, home improvements, decluttering or sorting and filing, home maintenance. Our goal for you is to leave our place better than when you found it - and we'd ask of you to be keen, interested with a sense of any task, big or small, has it's fun and satisfying elements. For us it's all about clear expectations both ways.
  
  The exchange? 5 hours of work a day in exchange for accommodation and food.
  - Generally you prepare two meals a day for yourself
  - Generally the third meal is either you cooking or us cooking. (we provide ingredients).
  - Generally we work out a routine that works.

  Hébergement

  Suits one person or a couple:
  A cabana in the garden is fully equipped and is next to the pool.
  - Queen bed (super comfy)
  - Kitchenette with microwave, kettle, toaster
  - Own bathroom
  - Blinds on some windows, not fully private but facing the pool away from the house
  - Next to the pool - you share the pool with our family.
  
  For the shared meals:
  - Workawayers use the kitchen in the main house, depending on our family schedules and workawayers' needs.
  - Self-prepared meals in the Cabana - we ask you to keep it really clean so we don't get creatures from the garden coming in! No cooking in the Cabana, but use of the mini-kitchen.
  
  PLEASE NOTE that sometimes the Cabana is not available. We would then discuss the option of you staying in a spare bed in the house with a shared bathroom. This is unusual but could be a possibility at certain times.
  
  Food provided for breakfast and lunch. Dinners can be shared with the family or provided for you to warm up in the Cabana. We would make agreements about how best to make it work. You might cook, we might cook. We'd talk about what works. Part of your task might be to cook and freeze some meals for our family.
