  Helping with my B&B + gardening, enjoying the amazing wildlife & nature
  
  I'm looking for one or two Workaways from June to early October to assist with B&B guest services, tours, and gardening. Our posting is more about a deeper experience than a regular job! 2 months minimum stay, I prefer longer stays over shorter ones
  
  Please read the complete profile before applying!
  
  Hi! I'm Rolf. I run a small, private B&B with just one guest room, along with ethical wildlife photography tours where we observe bears, whales, sea otters, and other incredible animals. I also maintain a small farm growing veggies for our guests and ourselves, plus a vermiculture (worm farm).
  
  I work hard but love what I do, and I'm looking for like-minded people who enjoy being proactive and learning new skills. Everything here is small-scale, personal, and driven by sustainability and passion—not profit.
  
  I'm looking for mature, independent, nature-loving people who enjoy tranquillity and aren’t afraid to pitch in where needed.
  
  This is my family home and I'm are looking for people who feel comfortable in this environment, comfortable around us and who love to take ownership of their tasks. This is not a job with set times; our place is a constantly changing environment, it is always busy but also always relaxed. You will also be able to join me on some of my wildlife tours.
  Work hours are roughly only 10 hours per week on average; I pay minimum wage.
  
  I do have two boys, 14 and 15 (Down Syndrome) who are normally here during weekends.
  
  What I'm Looking For:
  - Reliable, mature, independent, and proactive people
  - Comfortable talking to international guests
  - Able to spot what needs to be done and take initiative
  - Enjoy peace, nature, and working solo rather than partying
  - Someone who enjoys to spend a lot of time in the garden or wants to learn about growing food
  - A great fit for our small, friendly team
  - Good English is a must

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  This area is stunning, rich in First Nations culture, and home to breathtaking wildlife. It’s peaceful and not a place for party lovers—perfect for those who enjoy nature, quiet moments, and meaningful work.
  We can share knowledge about:

  🌎 Sustainable living, composting, and vermiculture

  Unterkunft

  You have two options for your stay:
  🏡 A private room in the house (shared bathroom with us sometimes).
  ⛺ A large yurt in the garden (with a compostable toilet; shower access in the house).
  On the weekends my two sons come home often. They are 13 & 14 and my older guy has down syndrome. They are both great fun and you get bonus points if you like to play basketball and bounce on trampolines, since they love to play and bounce! We have a beautiful 2.2-acre property, and sometimes my neighbor’s two horses stay here.

  Was noch ...

  You won’t have a boss watching over you—I trust my Workaways and consider them part of the family. We’ve built lasting friendships with past volunteers, and I want everyone here to be happy, fulfilled, and well-supported.
  
  If you’re looking for a unique, hands-on experience in a peaceful, wildlife-rich paradise, we’d love to hear from you!
