The experience

Family Home in Birkenhead, Auckland. Only a 15-minute bus ride into the city (and only a 5 minute walk to the bus stop and lots of shops).
We are 3 generations living under 1 roof. My partner Luke and I live downstairs with our 4 year old daughter and newborn son (born in October). His 83 year old Dad is very active and friendly. A young Japanese woman lives here too and she helps him with housekeeping.

Activities & Shift

We only consider female applicants, sorry.

Hours would be 4 hours per day for 5 days with 2 days off, these can be flexible but it would be good to have help on the weekend. We are mainly looking for someone to help with cleaning and cooking (we are vegetarian) as well as childcare of our 4 year old daughter. 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 :)
