  Beschreibung

  Bonjour/Hello,
  
  My name is Veronique. I'm a single mother of two young men (20 and 18 years old), who share their time between my home and their father’s, and a sweet 7 years old girl. I have a busy life : I volunteer at a meditation centre, I enjoy spending time in nature and with my friends, gardening, hiking, kayaking , cross-country skiing and yoga. I also regularly need to go to Montreal to take care of my aging parents. All that leaves me limited time to take care of my beautiful house on the edge of a lake in the forest.
  
  In the past, we hosted 8 workawayers and loved the experience.
  
  In general, I will favor workawayers who have a driving licence and would be willing to stay at my place for one month or more.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  I live in Val-des-Monts, which is 40 minutes away from Ottawa. Being so close to Ottawa provides a great exposure to all the culture and heritage available in Canada's Capital (museums, cultural events and festivals such as pow wows - Indigenous gathering/celebration).
  
  Val-des-Monts is 50% Anglophone, 50% Francophone. The beautiful village of Wakefield is only 15 kilometers away and has a nice boardwalks and a variety of restaurants and stores. Ski hillsand a national park (Gatineau Park) with hundreds of kms of hiking and cross-country skiing trails are minutes away.
  
  My first language is French and I'm fluent in English. I can also understand Spanish. I'm happy to teach French to Workawayers.
  
  Since I often drive to Montreal, which is 2 hours away, I'm happy to give rides if you want to go visit.

  Arbeit

  I'm mainly looking for Workawayers to help me:
  - prepare meals;
  - wash the dishes;
  - grocery shopping;
  - house cleaning;
  - do laundry;
  - change beds' sheets;
  - mow the lawn;
  - take care of my plants and vegetable garden;
  - snow plowing.
  
  At times, I will also have some home maintenance project such as:
  - painting rooms;
  - sandblasting, varnishing/painting a piece of furniture.
  
  I'm not necessarily expecting a single Workaway being able to do everything on my list. Whatever you can offer is a great help for me.
  
  My parents live in Montreal and they are aging so I sometime need to go help them. When I'm away, I need the Workawayer to house and dog sit.
  
  I'm expecting Workawayers to volunteer between 20 and 25 hours a week (4-5 hours a day) in exchange for food and accommodation. I'm very flexible with how you want to organize your time.

  Unterkunft

  My house is a cottage on a quiet lake. The view from our living room and patio is beautiful.
  
  The second floor is a large open space that includes a living room with a fire place, a kitchen and a dining room area as well as a bathroom/laundry room. Two bedrooms are also located on that floor (mine and my daughter’s bedroom).
  
  The first floor has my son’s bedroom and the guest bedroom, a living room/office area, a spinning bike, a bathroom and a garage.
  
  There is a family computer, Wi-Fi and Netflix available for Workawayers.
  
  I have a bike I am happy to lend to Workawayers and can give car rides when I go out. When I don't need my car, which is an electric vehicle, I'm also happy to lend it.
  
  Food is included. Workawayers can feel free to share meals with me and my kids or cook their own meals. If you have a special diet or different tastes, I'm glad to pay for specific grocery shopping.

  Was noch ...

  I'm open-minded and traveled a lot. I really enjoy foreigners' company and don't have any specific expectations apart from no smoking in my house.

  Lexie (4 Jahren)

  Lexie is a playful and affectionate labradoodle. We adopted her when she was a little over one year old and she has filed us with happiness since then. If you know how to throw a ball, she'll be your forever friend.
