  Description

  We are a couple in our late 30s who have a one and a half year old daughter. We have recently moved into our dream home/property, and are about to start building an addition to our Wellness Centre, where we offer massage, acupuncture and somatics to our community. We are looking for some some help with childcare, gardening, cooking and household tasks during this busy chapter of life.
  
  We live in one of the most beautiful places in the Canada. The diversity of activities, abundance of nature and quiet space is truly spectacular. Our home in situated walking distance to cafes, amenities, sandy beaches, swimmable rivers, walking/biking trails and more.
  
  We are laidback couple, we love nature/music/food/community/travel/adventure, and are looking forward to connecting with folks for different countries.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We lead very active social lives, and have family all around...so you can be as immersed as you would like to be in our network of friends/family. There is always something interesting to do in the local surrounding communities, and we would support you engaging in cultural, music, sporting events.
  
  We are always involved in cooking, gardening, projects, nature adventures, events, etc. We work in the healing arts (massage, acupuncture, somatics)...so are happy to educate you in the realms of body/mind/spirit (if that is of interest to you.)
  
  We have an 18 month old who is so happy, curious, silly and FUN to be with. We spend a lot of time nurturing her growth and providing a safe, inspiring, loving environment for her.

  Accommodation

  We have a two story home, and the lower level will be a very private, quiet space for you. Your room has a king sized bed and there is a private bathroom and recreation room.
  
  You are welcome to join us in the kitchen anytime you like...and enjoy our beautiful timber framed deck with views of the garden :)
  
  We keep a clean home (remember we do have a toddler) and really value someone who is also able to respect our home by keeping things tidy and well cared for. We value a safe, comfortable, positive space.
  
  We enjoy all types of food, and are open to learning what you love. We eat as local and organic as possible. Generally we have two smaller meals and one larger meal each day.

  What else ...

  This is a nature lovers dream...so if that is what you are after, you're in the right place. If you're into urban centres, lots of restaurants and bars..this is not the spot for you.
  
  We are in the middle of two larger town centres (Courtenay and Campbell River) which are both 20 minutes away. We are situated in a lovely small continuity that is bustling with local activity, boasting both beach and river activities, golf course, marina, endless walking trails and agricultural land.
  
  We are on a local bus route that attaches you to countless communities within the Comox Valley. We have explored thoroughly throughout the years...so will be happy to direct you to some amazing features.
  
  We don't smoke cigarettes, and would prefer if you did this off of the property if you do smoke.
  
  We would love to tell you more about our situation, so feel free to contact us to see if this is the right fit :)
