    Description

    We are currently looking for a responsible person to help look after pets, and horses, and helping with garden in spring, produce or yard maintenance. Baking is my hobby and attending Marketfests in surrounding towns. We have space in April, May & June. Just a note, Arnold does not live with us for the past 4 years. He had health issues and is now in a retirement home. So it is just the two of us now. He enjoyed many hours spent over the years with all the helpers from so many countries. We all miss him.

    We live on our farm with 7 horses. We've had to sell our cattle, due to health problems, which forced us to sell and retire, and we sold some of the farm land. In summer we make hay but we do it ourselves because volunteers don’t have experience to use the machinery.
    We are in a lovely area surrounded by nature. We have farmed here for 43 years and would like to keep on living here but we rent our land out. We still have 7 horses that could use a loving hand and attention, such as brushing, bridle training the youngest one, or riding, for those that are experienced riders. Our horses are not in stables, they are free in a pasture but close to the house. Usually we plant a vegetable garden in summer for ourselves, and we usually have extra for other people. We also have cats and dogs. I, Christine, do alot of baking. It's nice to see travellers again and I like having someone else in the house to talk with. And I also DJ for dances and weddings on some weekends. Anyone that likes music or dancing would enjoy coming along and I can also teach them to dance if they want. I have hosted foreign exchange students for many years and can help with teaching English if needed.

    Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

    Nice, peaceful country living. Horses to ride for free time, for those that are experienced riders, and wish to do so, a lake nearby for swimming in summer, bikes available, nature all around. If you know how to entertain yourself and want to enjoy your time with the animals, this is your chance to do that. Experience the Manitoba Prairie Life. We had foreign exchange students some years ago. Our area is quite multi cultural, immigrants from alot of countries have settled here many years ago, so we have all types of people living out here.

    Aide

    Elderly couple would like help with pets or grass cutting on yard. Some chores, some help in the house, and yard/ garden, maintenance, as well.
    Certain times of the year, we might need someone to look after the house and pets while we go for a week or 2, on a trip, with grandchildren etc. If you are a reliable, respectful, and responsible person, and interested in something like this, contact us. We have a lake nearby for swimming and bikes to ride as well. Must like large dogs. And no allergies to the cats inside the house.

    Hébergement

    Shared space /sleeping arrangements, unless you're the only one here at the time.

    Beds available in the downstairs basement of our home. Only one guest bedroom upstairs.

    Clean bedding and towel provided upon arrival. There is a living room area just for helpers, down there as well, where you can watch your own tv shows or just be together with other travellers, and play board games, read, talk etc. Or you can join us upstairs if you don't mind watching what we watch!

    We provide over 100 channels from Satellite TV as well as rural WIFI. The helpers would be expected to keep that area clean as well. Food provided, usually self serve at breakfast and lunch, with the main meal in evening made by us, at suppertime. We eat meat here as well. We also have pets that need to be inside the house, as well as some outdoor ones. Not ideal if you are afraid of large dogs though. They are Husky/German Shepherd/Mix so fairly large.

    Wifi available as well as Satellite tv with over 100 channels, but plenty of things to do outside, such as horse riding, if you are an experienced rider, or just going for walks, having a campfire, biking, swimming in summer, skating on the lake in winter...sports! There are also other local events that they can be taken to, like hockey games in winter, festivals in the area, rodeos in summer, a Bingo game if you're interested. Or just enjoy and relax in the countryside.
