  Descrição

  Hello, my name is Jeanne and I live in Whitby, Ontario, Canada with my husband Allan. We are located in Durham Region, which is just east of Toronto. I am looking for help with general work around the house (inside and/or outside). I am currently staying at home and my husband works in a hybrid model.
  
  The house is a bit of a fixer upper we never remodeled. We decided to stop waiting for the big reno and make the best with what we have. So we have been organizing, painting, fixing and purging but there is still a lot more to do. It would be great to have help to tackle the projects I do not have the energy to do on my own and to do so while sharing and learning about our respective cultural backgrounds.
  
  My native language is French and I also speak English while my husband only speaks English. We have 2 amazing cats living with us. They are wonderful company and love everybody.
