House sitting or accommodation needed
Hi Everyone,
We are a family of 3 who moved down to the Hibiscus Coast/North Shore from Northland about 9 months ago. We moved here to access therapy for our now 2yr old daughter who has Cerebral Palsy. We have been unable to afford rent as well as our daughter’s therapies, so we have been doing a combination of house sitting and living in our caravan.
We are looking to live down here for at least another year or longer depending on our daughters needs. We are looking for long term house sits of 2 months or longer if possible, we are also interested in any other affordable living arrangements that might be available. Our daughter is still unable to crawl so the home does not need to be “baby proofed”.
We have great references from our previous house sitting and are happy to care for all sorts of animals as well as do house and property care and maintenance.
We are currently looking for a place to stay from the 17th of November and onwards, please PM me to get in contact.
Thank you for your time.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
