Informationen

Beschreibung
I am a single mom with 3 sons aged 22, 20 and 18. We live in a bungalow in a small town in rural Alberta, but we are close to the city of Calgary and the Rocky Mountains. I work from home, I homeschooled my 2 youngest sons, who are now living on their own. We love to travel, I have taken my sons to India, Europe, Mexico, Guatamala, and the United States. We have a large yard and are planting a garden this year. My oldest son and myself enjoy gardening. We enjoy meeting new people and hearing about their travel stories. We can offer the experience of living in a small town, but we also visit my sisters in the city of Calgary where there are many tourist attractions. If time permits there may also be opportunities to visit Banff National Park and many other scenic wonders.

I work full time so any help with the above would be greatly appreciated. It would be great to have someone who enjoys cooking to help prepare meals. Also, I have a large yard and garden so someone who also enjoys working outside would be an asset.

We had a wonderful time with Enora. It was short but sweet! Enora was a great help and always very willing to try new projects. She had never painted before but she looked it up on google and asked her friend and she did an amazing job painting my back stairway. Enora was also a great help in the kitchen. She made cookies, quiche, crepes and… read more

We had a wonderful 4 weeks with Harry. Don't let his young age deter you. He is wise and mature beyond his 19 years. Harry fit right in with our family and we just carried on as if we had known him all our life. He was helpful in the kitchen, doing dishes and cooking us Welsh meals. Harry brought music into our home with his singing and… read more

Vom Workawayer (Harry) für Host

I genuinely left feeling I was a part of the family. There was nothing that was too much for Kerri and it was really hard leaving them because it was like leaving my own family once again! Their kindness, hospitality and genuine openness to life is an inspiration. If you are in the area and not staying here there is something wrong with you!

Vom Workawayer (Michael) für Host

My time with Kerri and her boys couldn't have been better - they invited me into their home and I truly felt like a family member.
The work scedules were very flexible and so I had enough time to get in touch with Didsbury, the little town they live in. A unique and priceless opportunity to see a side of Canada no regular tourist will ever… read more

There is a huge hole in our lives now that Michael has carried on with his journey. Michael arrived a stranger and left as part of the family. Michael was always willing to help with many mundane tasks (picking weeds, washing windows, etc) and was also able to share his many talents with us. He fixed our computer and gave us lessons on… read more

It was not possible for Tim to stay with us, but he stayed with my very good friends. However, he did come and work for me for a day and I must say we accomplished alot in that day!

Vom Workawayer (Tim) für Host

Even though I didn't stay at Kerris place I've learned to know her a bit.
She was conveying me to another family and I have to thank her so much for getting me out of a troubling situation.
From the one day I worked with her I can say that she is easy to get a long with and showed me great hospitality.

Thank you Kerri!

We had great fun with the 3 girls while they stayed with us. It was a short visit, but the girls worked very hard with gardening, painting and cooking. The girls were very flexable and easy going and fit right in with the family. We wish them all the best at school and their travels.

Romana was our first experience with workaway. We could not have had a better experience. She helped out wherever needed, and became a part of the family. My son Ben and her made some wonderful meals for us to enjoy and my son Eli wishes she could stay longer with us. We are changed for the better having met Romana.
