Hoping to find some help, mainly in the garden! Some regular upkeep, like mowing and weed-whacking, possibly transplanting a few plants, also painting the fence that keeps deer out of a yard. Also painting some outdoor stairs... Possibly a bit of cleaning too, such as windows and outdoor deck area.
You would have a nice private area to stay in, with living-room, bedroom, bathroom, and half-kitchen, as shown in the pictures (except that the gas cooktop has been removed). Also I nice patio area and private green-space.
I don’t cook meat, but meals will include salmon and eggs.
As for Bowen Island : it’s a great place to experience west coast island life in a small community. The house, and a nearby cottage, is 3-1/2 acres in a quiet beautiful spot, but also very convenient as it is not far from where the ferry comes in, and 10- minute walk to “the Cove” where shops and restaurants are. The island itself is just a 20-minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay, where there's a bus to downtown Vancouver, so the city is easily reachable. (Many people commute every day.)

Our little island (Bowen Island) offers a wonderful taste of the west coast lifestyle in Canada. We're a small population, about 4000. There’s a surprising amount of arts and music activities going on, especially in summer. And there's a local pub, that often has live music. Of course a big appeal is nature, with beautiful places to hike (-some trails starting just one minute from our door) .
Ayuda
Mainly outdoors tasks: painting a fence that keeps deer out of a yard; other yard work such as weed-whacking, a bit of mowing (though there is not much mown area); possibly some cleaning as mentioned above.

Alojamiento
You'll have a nice garden-level place to stay, sunny and private, as described above.
This would suit a single workawayer or a couple.
Cooking is more or less vegetarian, mainly plant-based, plus (local) eggs, and fish (usually salmon)
Algo más...
Bowen Island is a popular day-trip from Vancouver during summer. local businesses offer sea kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. Some of the local restaurants have live music on the weekend. Meanwhile Vancouver is so near that many people commute. It's just a 20-minute ferry ride to Horseshoe Bay, and from there buses go downtown.
Our place is walking distance to the Cove where the ferry comes in and where there's a cluster of shops and restaurants.
