mother's help...
   
Are you a home-loving girl, wanting to care for children, look after the house and do the 101 things that a Wife and Mother does every day on a cattle or sheep station?

ironing This work would include some cooking and cleaning, some gardening, some child-care - perhaps supervision out riding or in the swimming pool, driving them to school or to the bus stop. Maybe you would collect the mail from the road-end or the airstrip, help with the washing and ironing, table laying, washing up, dusting and polishing - the job is varied indeed.

This sort of work is sometimes called being a Mother's Help, in other places a Girl Friday. However, a Girl Friday would also have outdoor duties, helping with the animals, driving, riding and taking part in all the work of the station.

These jobs are usually paid between $250 and $300 per week clear, depending on age and experience and you are always given free food and accommodation.

You usually live in the family homestead and the job is for two to six months.






We have work for:
teachers and graduates
nurses and hospital staff
domestic wokers, cleaners and kitchen hands
Mother's helps and nannies
students and gap year students
anyone who has lived on a farm
and
anyone who is willing to have the experience of a lifetime!


Phone 0741 686 185 or complete the Enquiry form on the Enquire Now page.   You will receive an application form and information sheet by email.  Please note on the Enquiry form that you are interested in domestic work.

Complete the form as best you can, giving us as much information as possible about your skills and qualifications, about WHERE you would like to work and WHAT you would like to do. We also need to receive a faxed copy of your Working Holiday Visa label in your passport so that we know you are a legal worker.

Sign the application form at the DOMESTIC ONLY place.

It is important to remember that you need to look tidy and business like.  Girls with hundreds of earrings, nose, chin, eyebrow and mouth rings are not so easily employable. Table manners are terribly important too, no family wants a messy eater with them when they are trying to teach their children!

If your first language is not English and you go to a job with another of your fellow-countrymen, it is important to remember not to speak your own language in the presence of your employer.

HOSPITALITY

Jobs are also available in pubs, roadhouses, hotels, motels, on host farms and even in rural supermarkets for those who only want domestic work. For those who do not have previous experience a Hospitality Course is available after which work is guaranteed.

There is a large range of opportunities in the 'bush' but seldom in coastal resorts and never in the cities.

When you have earned lots of money, and saved it all (because there is nothing to spend it on!) go to the coast and the cities and have fun - but please remember to call Visitoz just before you run out of money so that you can be listed for another job!
