==============
Housesitting in July with pet care, yard & garden work. (Inquire for exact dates)
==============
We are a family of 3 living in beautiful Brentwood Bay BC. We love living here because it is semi-rural, surrounded by farms, access to some of the best hiking spots, and has a very small town feel. Karen works from home, Derek is a RN, and we have a teen son (who is conversational in French) We commonly have high school exchange students during the school months. We live on 1/3 of an acre, have 1 dog, 3 chickens and fish.
We tend to eat healthy, home cooked meals. We enjoy casual glasses of wine with friends and enjoy being social. We love our community and all it offers including farmers markets, live music and great local food.

We love having travelers and meeting new people. We are a busy family, but the place we live is an outdoor lovers dream. Derek has had many career paths including Masonary, finishing electrical, construction and hospitality. He is the cook in the house, and enjoys learning new dishes and teaching skills he has learned growing up in a French Canadian family.
Karen was a professional photographer for 14 years. She specialized in portrait and wedding work, and now has moved into photography projects for small businesses, along with web design. Over covid times, she was trained to be a skin therapist and now works out of the home providing facials and other skin health services.
Always happy to teach new skills to those eager to learn, as we are as well.
