We would like you to help us out with the kids and the household for 32 hours a week, spread over 4 days (likely Tue-Fri), with most work in the mornings and afternoons/evenings and some free time during school hours. This would give you 3 consecutive days off work to explore the region, pursue hobbies or find extra work.

Mornings and afternoons are busy times. It would be helpful if you are up early to get the kids ready, assist with breakfast and lunchboxes and either drop the kids off at school or stay home to watch the youngest. Then you would spend time with our little girl at home or at activities while Janina gets some work done. You would have several hours break in the middle of the day. In the afternoons, you'd assist with school pick-ups and taking the kids to activities or caring for our youngest while Janina spends time with the older kids, with flexibility depending on who needs mum most. Spending time outside in all weather is important, whether is is walking, cycling, playing games, trampolining, jumping in puddles, making bonfires or other outdoor fun.

You will definitely be driving our car (automatic) to take the kids to places, so a clean drivers license and confidence on the road is essential (we can practice driving on the left side). Another car is available for your private use most of the time (petrol would be your responsibility if you're going on trips outside the Macedon Ranges).

Occasional grocery shopping or small errands (e.g. pharmacy, post office) would be helpful. Light housework is expected, including tidying away toys and clothes, washing up/clearing up after cooking and meals, laundry of the kids' and your own clothes, keeping your room/bathroom clean and doing your bit to keep the house clean and organised.

You would receive $320 pocket money per week. Lodging (including internet) and all meals with the family would be covered. It would be advisable that you take out insurance in your home country. This should cover you for a variety of events whilst you are in Australia - in particular medical and vehicle damage (our vehicles are only covered by 3rd party insurance and so in the event of an accident caused by you with damage to our car, there may be significant costs).

We would like you to commit to staying with us for a minimum of 6 months and will offer a bonus payment at the end of a 6+ month satisfactory stay.

Before contacting us, please ensure that you meet the visa requirements for Australia (depending on your nationality, that would be Working Holiday visa subclass 417 or Work and Holiday visa subclass 462) so that we are able to host you here.
