    Description

    Hello, we are a family of four Mum (Melissa) is a town planner, Dad (John) works in architecture, Angus (5 years old) is in prep and Lachie (3 years) goes to childcare. We are a busy but happy little family living on the Gold Coast. We love going to the beach and the boys love playing sports.

    John and Melissa have lived overseas and travelled a lot, before settling in Queensland. Whilst we don’t travel as much anymore due to small children, we would love to welcome the world into our family via travellers who can teach our kids all about where they come from.

    Our family home is a brand new double storey house with a pool. Travellers visiting would have their own bedroom with queen size bed, tv room, with a shared bathroom. There is a bus stop close by also.

    We are looking for someone help with our small children by preparing some meals and helping with homework and generally play games. We all work / go to school on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Friday. So you would have a nice quiet house during those times. We like to spend the weekends as a family, so you will be able to do what you like over the weekends (with exception of the odd date night evening).

    We have only just finished our house and have some landscaping to do, so there maybe some yard work to help John with also.
