  Beschreibung

  We’re a warm Canadian family in Barrie, Ontario, a friendly lakeside city just 1 hour from Toronto (easy by GO Train). Barrie has beaches, cafés, nature trails, a beautiful waterfront, and it’s close to ski hills like Blue Mountain, Horseshoe Valley, and Mount St. Louis. In summer we do lake days; in winter we do skiing; and year-round there are parks, markets, and cute small towns to explore.
  
  At home we speak English, and also Russian, so you’ll hear a cozy bilingual mix.
  I’m a stay-at-home mom, and my husband works remotely in tech, so there’s always a calm, supportive adult presence around. We love creative play with our toddler, simple cooking, and little family adventures. You’re welcome to join us on outings, including occasional trips into Toronto.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  You’ll experience real Canadian family life while also getting a mix of cultures. We speak both English and Russian at home, so you’ll naturally pick up bits of each. We love sharing food, stories, and daily routines, and you’re welcome to join us for family outings, walks by the lake, local markets, or even occasional day trips into Toronto.
  
  Barrie has a friendly community with events, cafés, art spaces, and nature everywhere. We’re happy to help you explore the area, connect with locals, and experience what life in Ontario is really like. We also enjoy learning about other cultures, so we’re excited to hear about your traditions, language, food, and experiences too.

  We’re looking for someone friendly, gentle, and good with young children. The help is light and very family-oriented:

  • Tidying shared spaces (toys, dishes, light kitchen clean-up)
  • Light meal prep (chopping veggies, simple tasks)
  • Joining us for walks or activities if you want
  • Basic help around the house to keep things smooth
  
  About 3–4 hours a day, 5 days a week. Clear expectations, no heavy cleaning, no stressful duties.

  Unterkunft

  You’ll have a comfortable private bedroom in our cozy home, fast WiFi, and full access to shared spaces. We are peaceful, respectful, and want you to feel welcome — but also free to enjoy your own space. Barrie is walkable and well-connected, making it easy to explore the lakefront, nature trails, ski resorts, and Toronto.
  
  We provide three meals a day as part of the exchange. We usually cook family-style meals at home — simple, wholesome food with fresh ingredients — and you're welcome to join us for shared meals when schedules line up. When we’re unable to eat together, you’ll have full access to the kitchen, fridge space, and ingredients so you can prepare your own meals. We’re happy to discuss preferences, dietary needs, and favourite dishes once you arrive so we can make the experience enjoyable for everyone.
