Description
Welcome to our home- a house I share with my adult son and loads of pets ( multiple dogs and cats ( I foster cats for a rescue group) and a cockatoo. If you are a pet lover you will hopefully enjoy spending time with them as much we do.
We live in a lovely suburb, in walking distance to several beaches in North Queensland, Mackay.
Our house is a simple old cottage( air-conditioned) with 1 toilet ,1 bathroom and 3 bedrooms
I need help some projects I would like to tackle (eventually) as well as general maintenance of the yard and house.
I work full-time in Aged Care.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
As a migrant myself I find meeting people from other cultures always interesting.
I guess caring for all our pets is my field of expertise.
I love walking on our beaches here.
Help
Help with top-up cleaning and weeding the yard, walking the dogs, playing with the cats, pouring a concrete border under the fence, tidying up the loose pavers in the yard, create a new garden bed....
I don't have some of the skills needed yet, but I am hoping to learn with help of YouTube and maybe your skills?
I work full-time, so some tasks might be done by yourself, some will be working hand in hand...depending on the task and day.

Help with cooking is always appreciated. No particular diets or food restrictions from us. If you have specific dietary requirements or restrictions we can work something out.

Our suburb is quiet.

Your bedroom will be free of pets, but to ensure the safety of all pets and people we have strict rules in place about closed doors.

Her calm and gentle ways allowed even some of the more shy pets in our house to warm up and be comfortable around her.
I will miss her support and beautiful personality!
