Seeking accommodation and work
One flying Dutchman and his mostly tame Kiwi girlfriend are in search of a home and gainful employment. Well behaved, tidy, house trained, non judgemental vegetarians, we both get on very well with animals and children (though have none of our own) and are not so secret fitness junkies.
We are happy to house sit short term or long term and are also open to offers of rental properties or rooms in established flats. We have both worked as cleaners in the past for a total of 13 years experience - so your home or property will be well looked after!
On the work front we are open to all offers. Ideally Dutchy would prefer a longer term position that allows him to engage his brain and provide him a bit of a challenge. He is amazing with animals and children and would love to get into either of these areas for a long term career, and is very interested in the chance to continue to learn new things (he has a Dutch qualification in Civil Engineering).
The mostly tame Kiwi was born and bred locally and after a stint in the windy city and spreading her wings to travel abroad has returned to start up her own small Chinese medicine business. She is a fully qualified acupuncturist and massage therapist, tai ji and qigong instructor and is offering all of these services now in Nelson. She is open to offers of part time work to help supplement their income while her business gets off the ground - and to help keep her out of trouble.
If you have any leads or can help us out with any of this we would hugely appreciate it - we can and will shower you with baked goods or a good home cooked meal! Please call 0276836800

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
