  Description

  We are a family of four (two children aged 1 &4) living in the beautiful sunshine coast just minutes from the beach.
  We hope to find someone who is interested in getting to know our kids and lending a hand with some child care for our 1 yr old and after-school for them both until we get home from work.
  We would also appreciate some assistance with dinner meals if you have an interest in cooking.
  Having recently relocated from NZ, we are eager to meet new people and make connections.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We love exploring around our local area and attending community events.
  There is a local farmers market nearby each saturday.
  We have bikes and a car available for you to explore in your own time.
  We are a few minutes from the beach.
  Recently moved from New Zealand, so we are new to the area and settling in/exploring ourselves.
  I (Jilly) am a beginner in learning Español, so would be pleased if a native speaker were to live with us so I can converse more and get more confident.
  We would be happy for someone to teach a new language to our children.

  Help

  We would like someone who is confident in looking after children.
  Someone who is flexible and easy-going.
  We will need you to mind our 1 yr old some days, collect our older daughter from school and bring her home until we finish work.
  Sometimes school/daycare drop-off/pick-up.
  We would appreciate if you could make some dinner meals throughout the week (it would not be expected every day).
  Some help with day-to-day housework would be appreciated (hanging out washing, doing dishes, vacuuming) but is not the focus of what we require.
