    August house sit: (end of July July 25th or so to August 25th or so)

    Seeking experienced couple to house sit for August! Garden care, cat love and enjoy a home with access to nature and the city life. Home, cat and light garden care are simple tasks that will take place while we are away. We prefer to host and get to know you a bit before we go so we would like a couple for the end of July to the end of August who can commit. We have an abundant garden and most tasks are picking, weeding, watering and care tasks. We will host you for a month and be away for 3 of those weeks. We will take our dog with us. No big tasks expected but home experience needed.


    We live in a temperate rainforest climate and helping is both inside and outdoors, please bring appropriate gear for the tasks you are applying to do! We have warm summers and wet winters

    Hi! Meet our busy and loving little family of four. Bijan is a fun loving father and an open minded college Economics instructor who loves tech, a good discussion and is always happy to practice his Spanish and French. Renée is an energetic extroverted birth doula, accessibility researcher and yoga instructor. We both love to cook and share house hold responsibility. Renée has an unpredictable birth work schedule and also works several evenings a week teaching. Our children are Ezra and Arya, 14 and 12 and we a have a shy cat Kali, and our joyful dog Toto. The kids are very active and love arts and crafts, playing and cracking jokes. We are very open to new people and have very big personalities. If you are flexible, open-minded and enjoy family life and good food please check us out and send us a message. Our home is cozy and we have a lot of on-going projects and need help with seasonal chores as well as day to day tasks like the dishes. We invite those who are open to becoming a part of the family for the duration of their stay. We especially welcome those who are good at organizational tasks!

    We have a small 10/10 cabin in the back of the yard that is private and ideal for those who enjoy their own space. The bed is a double and it is cozy and quiet. The photo here shows an additional bed that can be added for small families but this is usually open floor space. The bathroom and other facilities are in the main house but the guest house has a strong good wifi connection. You are welcome to pee in the trees..it's that private!

    Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

    People who stay with us enjoy our interest in their lives, global issues and enjoy being a real part of our family. This means coming with us on outings if desired, learning about gardening, cheese making, food preservation and whatever else we are up to. Weather and time permitting we try to get out into nature and include our volunteers in this experience. Everyone that has come has focused on different tasks. We enjoy discussions, games, outdoor activities and a large part of our life is about producing and preserving food for our family (and you) to enjoy.

    Arbeit

    We live in a small home with a large yard and garden that continues to expand. We have eleven fruit trees. We always need help with mulching, pruning, weeding, planting and harvesting, depending on the season. We try to keep a list of a variety of tasks so that volunteers can select something they enjoy doing. We appreciate people who can anticipate some needs and do things that are needed without being asked but will always give directions and guidance for larger tasks before asking you to take it on.

  • Unterkunft

    Unterkunft

    Our photos show our little "shack in the back" a simple one room guest house with a shared bathroom in our home. This is a double bed. There is an option of a little bed on the floor for a family of three if the child is young. There is also space to have a tent if you prefer that but the capacity for the shack is two adults.

  • Was noch ...

    Was noch ...

    Victoria has many amazing sites, both natural and historic. There are art museums, stunning gardens, many city parks, as well as amazing islands and provincial parks to explore. From downtown you can take tours of the city, go whale watching or travel to see the wild west coast of Vancouver Island in Tofino or go to Seattle on the Clipper. Vancouver Island is a scenic wonderland! I have lived here for 21 years and there are still islands and epic beaches I have not yet seen.

    Note: If you are hoping to surf you will need a car!
