  Description

  We are a family owned sled dog tour company. We have been in business for 26 years offering high quality excursions to people all over the world.
  Our kennel consists mostly Alaskan Huskies. We have two children. Jordyn who is an independant 11yr old girl, and her sister Cassidy who is a busy 7yr old. We are currently seeking english as a first or second language who can help with the kids through the summer holidays and help with other tasks such as household chores, yard work, and kennel chores. This could turn into an opportunity to stay on with us through the winter and work as a sled dog kennel hand or tour instructor.
  The kids very much like to be outside and part of our business so the person for this position must like the outdoors, hiking, biking, exploring, and able to get dirty and endure a few hours of physical kennel work etc and if interested in the winter opportunities, want to be outside a lot!
  Both of us parents have a full time job aside from the sled dog tours so we need to know the sleddog's needs are being met.. We wish you to bring skills to contribute to our situation, you must love children and plan to spend time teaching and playing with our kids, have a positive attitude, are tidy, helpful, good mannered, fun and loving. Must be independant, reliable, self entertained and able to be somewhat isolated. We have a small house with a small cabin for your accommodations, shower, laundry and kitchen would be shared the house with us. I need this person to make my life easier not be an extra tax on my crazy busy life.
  
  We are looking for someone for the entire duration of May thru September for sure. Minimum stay at one time is 2 months.
  
  An extention to this is also available and suited for someone interested in the sleddog tour/kennel side of things thru to winter or even thru the winter to end of the tour season which ends April 2023.
  References will be required.
