Description
We're a lively family of 3 living in Mangawhai Heads, 90-minutes drive north from Auckland. We absolutely love hosting workawayers!
Right now, we are on the lookout for someone to help at home with various tasks including child minding, household chores and tending to the garden.
Our place is conveniently located in Mangawhai near stunning beaches, picturesque parks, local markets and an amazing chocolate shop!
In exchange for five hours of help each day, we offer an amazing Kiwi Experience, delicious food, and a cozy cabin with WIFI
I am a busy mom juggling a full-time job as an Administration Assistant. I have two vibrant girls aged 13 and 11 who keep me on my toes and enjoy socialising, arts and crafts, playing games, guitar and sports.
We would love to welocme someone new into our home for the rest of the school holidays and we look forward to hearing from you!
