Lovely ladies ranging from 6 to 69 years young! I am a 41 year old home-owner and working mother of one who lives with my daughter and mother in a home-and-income dwelling. Reasonably large 2-story warm house, smothered in sun and located in a safe, friendly neighbourhood. The bottom one-bedroom apartment is occupied by my retired mother while my daughter and I occupy the top 3-bedroom dwelling. Spare room is in the top section. I have a teaching background and I'm a Social Services practitioner (Social Worker) whose interested in the welfare of others and showing acts of kindness. We love to laugh and are friendly but we are also fiercely independent. No pets. Can offer a comfortable room in an easy going environment. Great for someone who doesn't mind others around but likes to do their own thing too.

Additional Info

About the Area

Our house is located on the hills of Redwood, Tawa bordering on the Redwood Forest Reserve. It requires about a 10-15 minute walk from our home to public tranport (trains north/south and some buses). Sunny, warm, airy and light, our home is warm and accommodating set in a lovely neighbourhood. We are right up the top of the hills in Redwood (above Tawa flats). We are about a 8-10 minute drive from Porirua City (including Whitireia Polytechnic), or about 12 minutes drive to Wellington's Central Business District and city (non peak hour travelling). We have good train transport to and from the city, or for travelling North on the line. Buses are not as frequent. I personally travel by private vehicle only. Good access to shops and facilities including the library, public pools, parks and outdoor recreation, sports arenas, the cinema and museums.

Be respectful and courteous, bearing in mind I have a 6 year old daughter. Guests and visitors welcome but please no sleep-overs with out prior arrangement. Landline available for local calls (user pays for international tolls). Laundry facilities available for independent use. No smoking indoors but outdoor area accommodating. Guests able to use kitchen facilities but must tidy after use. Can assist with some sight seeing and tourists attractions but prefer someone who is comfortable being independent and capable of getting themselves around. Happy for guests to mingle and socialise within family home and shared spaces but a separate living area available for guests with TV, cable and free wi-fi
