Auckland Pair
Barwell Farm Ashburton, South Island
Job Description
👋 Live-in Au Pair wanted (July–December)
Ashburton - Mid Canterbury- New Zealand
Must tolerate chaos, noise, and questionable dinner conversations…
We’re looking for a legend to join our family for the second half of the year. If you’ve ever thought “I’d love free accommodation, great views, and 3 kids who keep life interesting” — keep reading.
📍 10 minutes out of Ashburton
🧒 3 school-aged kids (15, 13 & 8 — generally awesome, occasionally feral)
🛌 Your own sleepout – bed, couch, TV, internet (bathroom shared with the small humans… well, medium-sized 😅)
🚗 Use of a car for children (private use to be negotiated)
📱 NZ SIM card provided
🗓️ 2 days off each week to recover
💰 Paid allowance
🌄 Unreal mountain views
🏂 30 mins to Mt Hutt – so yes, skiing is absolutely encouraged
Your main gigs:
✅ Morning mission: get kids up, fed, and out the door (coffee helps)
✅ Afternoon chaos coordination – bus pickups & activities
✅ Light housework + helping with meals (nothing MasterChef-level required)
✅ Daytime = yours (job, gym, skiing, naps… we won’t judge)
We’re a busy farm family, so expect a bit of everything—mud, laughs, sport, and the odd “WHERE are your shoes?!” moment.
Would suit someone on a gap year, wanting a change of scene, or keen to experience real-life NZ (aka organised chaos with great views).
📩 Flick me a message if you’re keen
