🏡 Live-in Help Wanted – Beautiful Old Home in Central Nelson

Single mum of two great kids (11 & 13) looking for a fun, kind adult to join our household in exchange for room and board.

The deal:

  • About 3 hours a day: 2 hours of cleaning or gardening, plus 1 hour hanging out with the kids (bike rides, adventures, whatever's fun)
  • Your own room in a big, beautiful old house right in the centre of Nelson
  • All food covered. You cook for yourself and the kids, so you'll need to be comfortable in the kitchen (you don't need to be a chef!)
  • Extra paid work at $25/hr if you're keen. We have lots of little projects on the go.

Bonus: We also have a 210-acre farm in the Whangamoas with lots of animals, fresh eggs, swimming and hiking. Come hang out or help out. It's pretty much paradise.

You are:

  • Kind, fun and tidy
  • Someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with young people
  • Happy to pitch in and be part of a warm family

Trade a few hours a day for a home base in Nelson and a family to come back to. Message me to chat!
