    Description

    We are family, that lives in rural British Columbia. We are surrounded by mountains and lakes that are available to use anytime. This beautiful location is full of opportunities to ride horses, work with small animals, and help in the yard with many gardens. We have 5 children from 10- 18yrs that are healthy and active currently living with us. We are requesting some extra help inside , daily house chores, daily outside chores, daily animal husbandry chores, and things that might arise unexpectedly living with animals or with the children. Everyday is an adventure living in beautiful BC. Safety is always important to us and the exploration of the land or sights we can show you visitors upon request.
    Our family enjoys all outdoor activities from snowmobiling, quadding, horse riding, farming, and camping. We have cows that start to calve in April and chicks that hatch in the spring. We have 4 dogs, 2 small & two larger, they are very friendly and great helpers.
    Please don’t hesitate to ask.
    Thank you
    We look forward to meeting you!!
