  Descrição

  Come and experience life out in Glen Eden West Auckland, gateway to the Waitakere Ranges and Karekare, Piha beach.
  
  
  Kerri is as Kiwi as they come, and works part time at a University mentoring students from the school of education.
  
  She has been teaching for 20 years and has lots of experience and knowledge.
  
  When she is not working you may find her in the garden or running errands for the kids or reading, or fixing stuff in her shed.
  This winter is drawing to an end spring is upon us, summer is glorious in Auckland.
  
  Aniela is 11 now she is outgoing talkative and loves fashion and nail polish, she is independent and loves animals.
  Now she is at intermediate she keeps to herself a bit more.
  
  Lukasz is 9, he lives to play football, and he can likely tell you all the stats of your famous football players.
  He also likes basketball and skateboarding and cricket.
  
  Both kids are pretty busy with school.
  In our week we usually have football training and a weekend game.
  Swimming lessons during the weeks,
  Tap dance at the weekend.
  
  My children help me so much so it is a nice break to have a workaway to help out around the house.
  Every second weekend they are with their Dad in the city, so there is plenty of un interupted downtime for you.
  
  We have 2 cats, they are crazy lovely.
  
  
  Kerri's Dad helps out with childcare as well, Ian's passions are travel and he is widely travelled chances are he has been to your homeland.
  He also used to teach English as a second language and would be helpful with travel tips.
  He has also worked in the car industry all his life and is great to chat to about cars.
  If you have time to listen his stories are elaborative.
  My Mum loves animals and has dogs and shows them in dog shows and does agility, you will see a bit of my parents if my dad is not away traveling.
  
  We like to think we are really easy going and friendly and would make anyone feel at home and relaxed.
  We don't have many house rules, just be open and communicate and be honest.
  
  The kids Dad Mieszko lives in an apartment in the city, he is an expert on Urban development and infrastructure and transportation and transport planing as well as leadership.
  He also loves football, you will see him around around from time to time

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  To the West of Glen Eden is Oratia where you will find farmers markets and vineyards, To the East is New Lynn with trendy eateries and shopping malls.
  Southwest is a Suburb called Titirangi.
  West Auckland has stunning Fauna and Flora and trees, it is a diverse area with so much to offer.
  The beaches are spectacular if you have time go and see them.
  Check swimsafe online to see if they are safe to swim and if there are flags aka ways swim between the flag.
  NZ West Coast beaches have an undertow and rips which can be dangerous.
  We are not far from the centre of Glen Eden with local shops and a 15 m walk to the train station, bus services at the end of our road.
  I have a Hop card you can use but if you are coming from the airport you will have to buy one to be able to use the bus.
  There is so much to do and see in Auckland, we don't consider ourselves close to Auckland CBD, but its only 40 minutes on a train.
  
  From Kerri Learn about Children's development and why children are becoming risk adverse and what skills children need to survive nowadays to grow up to be contributing to society.
  Auckland is a vibrant diverse town, if you are open to learning then you can learn what ever you want.

  Ajuda

  You main role is to be a help to me and the children, when I have online meetings you could play a board game with them or do art, they both have art tables.
  You can shoot hoops with Lukasz and kick a football with him, go for bike rides with him.
  You can walk the kids to the local Library .
  Sometimes you may help get the kids to school or just be available to see they have breakfast and get to school if I have an early meeting.
  You could also babysit at nite so I can go out to the gym.
  Also general help around the house is appreciated.
  
  I may ask you to help my elderly parents with odd job s as well.
  
  Odd jobs like washing windows or help in moving stuff outside.
  I find I have to help them more and more so I may involve you.
  
  The children have been learning Polish so if you speak Polish then we would love to teach them some more, us as well.
  
  When you are with the children I request that you give them your attention and are most mindful of how much time you spend looking at your phone.
  
  
  Cooking wise, you would make dinner a couple of nights a week when i work that would be appreciated.
  Now that the kids are older it helps to have workaways cook the evening meal.
  It would help if you can bake.
  We don't have much in the way of foods with sugar in the house but they can have treats on weekends and I don't mind if you buy your own sweets but you have to keep them in your room and not eat them in front of the kids.
  
  
  We will provide basic food, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, breakfast and Lunch in NZ is very casual and you just find your own from what we have.
  There is always Veggies, Fruit, Bread cereal and eggs.
  I am happy to include foods you like in the grocery shop but if you are a big eater then please buy your snack foods yourself.
  Food is expensive in NZ so we have to stick to a budget and be mindful not to waste food.
  I don't drink coffee, sorry you have to provide your own.
  Kiwi's do not have a big sit down lunch, we will eat out in the garden, or grab a sandwich.
  I hear that is different from other cultures.
  Most workaways enjoy using our kitchen, it has lots of space.
  
  When the kids are away at their Dads we can share the cooking, I am not that motivated to cook a full meal when the kids are away so you may be cooking for yourself a lot:
  I love workaways that see a job that needs doing and offer to do it, like meal prep or making the kids beds or tidying the lounge room that is the best as it gives me a break.
