Ajuda

We are a family with two children (12 and 15). Based in Brunswick, we live centrally, close to all the best Melbourne has to offer. We like simple things - park outings, food outings, some basketball, dog walking, hanging out at home in the garden or playing board games. There is always something fun happening in our local community.

PLEASE DO NOT WRITE FOR STAYS WANTED FOR MONTHS IN ADVANCE. WE ARE SEEKING PEOPLE COMING TO MELBOURNE SOON OR EVEN LOOKING IMMEDIATELY. NOT ABLE TO COMMIT FOR STAYS MONTHS DOWN THE TRACK.

At the moment, we are especially in need for people who can help with any of the following:
- carpentry/building/plumbing/handyperson tasks involving drills and light tools
- good swimmers who can help with swimming
- sewing and genuine upholstery repair for a couple of old and loved wingback couches
- gardening
- junk removal
- technology
- People strong in mathematics
- building websites, social media, marketing
-Good at establishing and implementing systems, problem solvers, ideas people
- French speakers
-Cooks who are health concious not for just regular baking - high plant and protein, less sugar etc
- looking after a very cool 11 year old - fun and active activities
-some furniture moving

That's the wish list - if you are not good at these things, please still feel free to write and ask if we can host you!

Please note - we only take non smokers.

We are fine with people with individual dietary needs and values - we enjoy vegan and vegetarian food and we also eat some meat and fish as well - but we like diversity and healthy food mainly.

Also, help is needed across many daily activities for our home and family - eg maintenance gardening, helping with tidying and cleaning the house, daily tasks such as the laundry and the dishes, helping with all sorts of tasks - may include painting, window cleaning, moving things (not too heavy) around the house, occasional DIY projects etc.

The kids are friendly and fun and love international visitors. We would like you to feel welcome and part of our family while you stay in the best spot for seeing Melbourne. We can help with ideas for further travel in rural Victoria and beyond. You will have privacy in your room and shared bathroom facilities.

We are close to great shops, library, gyms, swimming pool, cafes, restaurants, transport - two trams to city, one train, many bus lines across Melbourne, 5km from central city, close to parks, supermarket....everything! You may be able to borrow a bicycle or other things too if you need...

Clare and her family were our first WorkAway experience and we couldn’t have been any luckier! Clare is really sweet and great to talk to! The tasks were really fun - they included things like gardening, some light household duties, decluttering together with Clare, hanging out with Agnes and Orlando and taking care of the worlds best dog, Pippie! … read more

Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Ellie (Elisa))

It was an absolute delight to host Ellie and Max for about 3 weeks – they really are the loveliest, easy going and helpful pair! From the moment they arrived, they were part of the family and imparted a wonderfully happy and positive energy to our home and lives. They helped with all aspects with great care, enthusiasm, attention to detail and to … read more the highest standards.
Max took complete ownership of our garden, quietly tending to pruning, raking, weeding, mulching, mowing, watering, cleaning up messy areas and shaping our enormous rosemary bush! Truly the place had a magical vibe by the time they left, all was green, lush, beaming in fact! Furthermore, Max helped with some random fix it jobs that just would never have got done otherwise, made some of the best bolognese sauce for the family and had a blast with our son on the local tennis courts. Ellie also played several tennis matches and they were both very kind and entertaining throughout their stay with Agnes and Pippie in particular.
I loved working and chatting with Ellie – she was a great partner for decluttering and many other jobs by offering the perfect measure of gentleness, firmness and wisdom and helped me get through “the next layer” without pain and feeling very supported. She too worked quietly around the house clearing out laden and messy cupboards and organising spaces beautifully. Ellie also helped Agnes with homework, prepped loads of vegies to make yummy meals and was always very attentive to the family. I was grateful for her consistent eagerness and just getting stuck into any tasks immediately with minimal fuss and working quickly yet carefully throughout.
I went away for several days with my daughter and Max and Ellie not only “walked the dog”, but gave Pippie a true holiday in Melbourne. With my permission, they purchased a muzzle for our lovely pet (as required by the public transport) and treated Pippie to several outings to beautiful parks around Melbourne. Whilst Pippie was happy to see me on my return, I could tell her care had been next level and she had had the time of her life!
It has been a gift to have felt total trust in leaving our home, loved pet and at times, the children in the care of Ellie and Max and return to pure peace, contentment and joy!
I highly recommend Ellie and Max to future hosts – we were very sad to see them go, but wish them a really fabulous time in Australia and fingers crossed we will see them again soon.
Thank you both so much, a truly lovely time it has been having you in our midst. xx Clare, Agnes and Orlando.

I enjoyed my time staying with Clare. It's a very relaxed household and they made me feel very welcome. The work was varied and I loved doing maths and playing games with Agnes.
I really appreciated having my own space in the bungalow and loved my snuggles with Pippi. Brunswick is a cool part of the city with easy access to the centre.
