✨ **Meet Our Joyful Chaos** ✨
Two dads (one American, one Chinese), twin, 7-year-old biracial sisters bursting with curiosity, and the breathtaking beauty of Niagara Falls as our backyard 🌈🌊. Together, we’re a vibrant blend of cultures, laughter, and adventure, soaking up every sunlit moment of this wild, wonderful life.
Join us as we navigate parenting, and the magic of raising fierce, funny little humans in a world as diverse as they are. 🥟🍁💖

**WHO WE ARE:**
We’re a lively, open-hearted family of four (plus a decade of hospitality experience!) nestled in rural Ontario, 35 minutes from Niagara Falls and 45 minutes from Niagara-on-the-Lake’s vineyards. After running a B&B for 7 years pre-pandemic, we’re excited to welcome travelers again—this time through cultural exchange. This will be out 3rd year on Workaway !
**OUR HOME:**
A spacious 5-bedroom house surrounded by gardens and trees, offering peace, fresh air, and starlit nights. You’ll have a private room and access to shared spaces. *Note:* We’re in the countryside—quiet and serene, but a car/bike is ideal for exploring. Unfortunately, there is no public transportation.
**WHO’S HERE:**
- **Us**: Two working parents who love storytelling, video games,DIY projects, sharing meals, and great conversations.
- **The Girls**: Independent 7-year-old biracial half-sister twins! They’re in school/activities most days, so there is limited interaction due to school and extracurricular activities, but they do adore saying “hello” and learning about new cultures.
**HELP NEEDED (Seasonal!):**
- **🌷 Spring/Summer**: We are mainly looking for help with watering the garden/landscaping (we have a BIG yard!), 2 raised garden beds, some weeding, and cutting the grass.
- Possibly some light housekeeping, organizing when needed.
- **Always**: Enthusiasm for small daily tasks (meal prep, tidying) is appreciated!
**WE OFFER:**
- **Your Own Room and private bathroom**: Quiet space to recharge.
- **Shared Meals**: Home-cooked dinners. Non-vegetarian, pork and chicken are our main source of protein.
- **Adventure Access**: Borrow bikes, a trip to Niagara Falls/wineries, or explore nearby trails.
- **Cultural Exchange**: Swap stories with a family that’s hosted guests from 20+ countries!
**BONUS SKILLS (Not Required!):**
- Woodworking/carpentry
- Gardening/landscaping
- Creative organizing
**WHY STAY WITH US?**
- **Location**: Hike Niagara Gorge, or unwind in nature—all within reach.
- **Learn**: Pick up gardening tips, DIY hacks, or parenting tricks (twins = endless stories!).
- **Belong**: Join a family that values curiosity, kindness, friendship, and laughter.
