  Descrição

  Needing your help with Maddie from Nov 20th for one month!
  
  We are in a beautiful rural area about 1.5hrs south-east of Melbourne, with train connections in nearby towns (Warragul, Drouin) about 20-25 min drive. Our home is on 5 acres of hilly bushland next to a forest, with stunning views. We keep chickens, ducks a cat, a dog and lots of wonderful plants.
  
  There are just us two middle-agers (50/60) living here on this peaceful place, in a simple, modern, comfortable home. We're active, outdoor types. I enjoy walking the dog, caring for the animals, yoga, music & dancing, catching up with friends, day trips to the coast, or bushwalking or (rarely) heading into Melbourne for some city action! He is into bike riding, sailing, tending the large garden and watching sport.
  
  The Gippsland area includes large forests, stunning coastline, lovely rural towns and lush farmlands.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  We are caring, sociable people who would love to know more about you and your background, as well as share our lifestyle with you. We have done lots of travelling and I speak several languages and have lived abroad. You will have opportunity to experience a peaceful Australian home where you'll see many different birds, giant lizards called Lace Monitors, wombats, snakes and wallabies; but you'll also be not too far from our local towns and Melbourne is an easy day-trip by car or train. We are happy to take you to see the area, visit friends with us and generally facilitate your enjoyment and discovery of this part of Australia.

  Ajuda

  The main help requirement for you is just hanging out with the sweet and fun rescue dog, Maddie, who cannot be alone due to her separation anxiety...so while I go to work as a teacher three days a week, you would be keeping her company. Yes, it's a really great job, right?! She's well-behaved, gentle and loves to go for walks.
  
  Depending on your preference, the work/hosting arrangement can be organised in various ways. You can look after Maddie (Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays all day) and additionally help with various tasks like weeding, cleaning, animal care etc.; we'll provide your meals. If you wish to only care for Maddie as your contribution for accommodation, you then have the rest of the week entirely to yourself. In this case, you will provide and cook your own food, or pay your share of the groceries and help with cooking. We're flexible and just want you to enjoy your stay here and ensure Maddie has company :-)
