Activities & Shift

We only consider female applicants and would like someone to be able to stay for the entire duration of the school holidays (Sept 19 - Oct 6) with the possibility of staying longer on either side.

We are mainly looking for someone to help with childcare of our 4 year old daughter, help prepare dinner (vegetarian), and do some cleaning. Childcare experience is highly valued.

We are happy to accommodate your interests and skills, but enjoying time with children and elderly people is a must.

Rules

We expect a very high level of tidiness in shared living spaces (kitchen, bathroom, etc). We ask that you please treat it like a home rather than a hostel.
