    My husband and I recently moved to Hornby Island and have a gorgeous home on the ocean in a highly desirable resort area. We are looking for someone who can help us out with work on the property and in the house. We have a large vegetable garden and greenhouse which we would also appreciate help.

    We rent part of our house out during the summer months and run a B&B during the rest of the year. We have 3 acres of property with a separate vegetable garden in a community garden (organic). There is always lots of work to do around here - small building projects, helping with maintenance of a vacation rental cottage, painting, gardening, etc.
