  Beschreibung

  Hello! My name is Benjamin (35) and my daughter is Sultana Gail (3). We live in a beautiful, small ocean-side community 25-minutes from bustling Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada.
  
  Terence Bay is a rocky outcropping on the North Atlantic Ocean, with a couple hundred homes and lots of fishing boats. The wind and waves are pretty constant, lots of birds and wildlife (deer, fox, the occasional bear) and more regular sight-seers and sea-kayakers.
  
  We are in Halifax several days of the week for work or meeting with our friends. Halifax has great food, shopping, shows and events throughout the year.
  
  Sultana is very active and talkative; she loves to color and play with rocks at the beach.
  
  I like to read and write, listen to/play music, and cook.
  
  We like to go camping every month or two (even through the winter!) and recently got a small camp trailer for our adventures.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  We are Canadians of European-settler descent, we speak English and French and are learning Spanish! We're on the treaty land of Mi'kma'ki/Nova Scotia. I’ve travelled to several continents and enjoy learning and sharing with different cultures. Many in our community are recent immigrants to Canada, from Europe, India, Asia and the Middle East...
  
  Halifax is a vibrant, albeit small, city... it's the hub of Mi'kma'ki and Atlantic Canada more broadly... it has many industries (tourism, education, manufacturing, shipbuilding, transportation, arts/culture, government (provincial, federal), etc.) and is bursting at the seams at the moment. There's not enough housing and we don't have the right infrastructure for a city our size (and growing). But it's bustling, in a slow and steady kind of way... good food and entertainment can be found.
  
  Nature is everywhere... lots of lakes, forests, beaches, trails, and rivers... it's never too hot... it's sometimes too cold.
  
  Personally, I know design and construction, architecture, mechanics... and more broad science and technology... I think space is fascinating.
  
  I know about music and could give lessons in instruments (guitar, piano, trumpet) or vocals.
  
  I like keeping up to date and talking about current events. I enjoy tv and film.
  
  I’m outdoorsy and we’d be happy to have you join us in camping and/or hiking, which we regularly do with friends.
  
  My "day job" is managing a building engineering and restoration company, partly working from home and partly in a small office in the city. We work on projects all over the province, so there may be opportunities to travel with me (with and without Sultana).
  
  I’m also immersed in the new paradigm of parenthood… and all the wonderful parts of meeting and sharing in the experience with other parents and kids. Sultana has a regular child-care provider here in the village and in the city.

  Arbeit

  Primarily, I’m looking for help with day-to-day activities - just another set of hands to run errands, cook, clean, and help look after Sultana. I enjoying doing all of these things, but with a demanding job and looking after Sultana half of the time, it can be a lot for just me. I like to keep a clean and tidy house, and eat good food. Sultana and I stay active and are engaged with our community.
  
  We also have some projects going on at the property - building a garden and a workshop/greenhouse are on the agenda for this spring/summer, which, if you’re inclined, you could help with.
  
  Also, there are some writing and design-type computer work that I always need help with; scanning documents, transcribing video/audio, organizing files/notes, corresponding with project team members, etc.

  Can teach English and French… could teach basic Spanish and would also love to learn from a more experienced Spanish speaker. Would also love to learn Arabic or Hindi or another Asian language.

  Unterkunft

  We live in a 1100sf three-bedroom house. It’s a good size for three people. There is also the option of staying in the small trailer or a tent on the property, if preferred…. or a mix, depending on who is coming/going! The property is 1/2 acre with trees and lots of bushes… one project is to clear some of the land to create a more defined yard/garden. The house is clean and kept tidy. We do have a big black cat named Bailey who spends lots of time outside.
  
  All you need in terms of bedding, towels, etc. can be provided. The place is safe and secure.
  
  Food and cooking supplies will be provided. I imagine we will share in making meals and cleaning, but this is flexible based on interest/ability.

  Was noch ...

  The community is residential so there aren’t many business within walking distance. There’s no public transit. I commute to the city regularly and some people ride-share with neighbours. Plenty of parking at the house if you have your own vehicle.
