Description
Beautiful 15-acre property with swimming pond, forest, fields, cats, chickens, a rooster and soon a dog. Three amazingly beautiful and smart kids 4, 7 and 9. Needing help with babysitting, about 25 hours a week. Offering food and board in exchange, negotiable. It's paradise here. Far from urban noise. Wild animals. Superb air and water.
Helper will enjoy private bedroom with bed, linens and drawer, and private full bathroom. We are located a15-minute drive from Sutton, a small town in southern Quebec. We are surrounded by forest, mountains, fields. A few minutes away by car there are trails for hiking in Summer and snowshoeing or cross-country skiing in winter. We have a beautiful pond to swim in: the kids spend most of the Summer in it. We are currently building a tree house. We have 15 acres of forest to wander in. The very famous Sutton ski mountain is just 20 minutes away. We have cats, chickens with fresh eggs and soon a dog.
We eat everything here but vegetarians or vegans are also welcome. We eat very well: mostly organic, vegetable based diet with a bit of organic meat, we cook and bake a lot. We try to avoid dairies and gluten but we are not dogmatic.
We spend family time playing outside, playing games or chatting. We listen to a lot of music. We read a lot. We do not have a TV or video games. Our kids all learn instruments. They are curious, smart, beautiful and fun.
I am a emergency physician and a classical pianist and my wife is currently not working because of serious health issues. So we need somebody to help her keep the household running when I am out working.
Sutton is small but has many interesting people offering different kinds of classes. It is quite a thriving place.Types of help and learning opportunities
