Answer
Hi Leisa,
       I would look at the north side for a place to live.
Try Strathpine, Lawnton, Bray Park, Petrie, French's Forrest Kallangur, Bald Hills, Morayfield, Narangba, Caboolture. Strathpine is the closest suburb to the city (about 20 km's) and Caboolture is the furtherest (about 50km's).

All of thise suburbs are close to either a train or bus and schools.

Centrecare, which is an arm of the catholic church, and would be a good place to start to look for the type of work you mention. You should have no problem getting work there.

Contact me again if you require any more details.

Regards,
Frank
