Description
It was my dream to live here some day - and it became reality!! Our little island is full of charm and personality with many wonderful shops and restaurants.
** Please be aware that there are no paid positions at this time.
In the winter month we often are in our Victoria home were we explore the city, learn about design, online blog writing, social media and photography and lots of small cleaning and cooking jobs. There is also a possibility for a paid position for someone that is a graphic designer to create presentations such as power point or upload instagram and LinkedIn articles. This would be for someone that has studied and has experience in marketing.
I'm a renaissance woman with many artistic talents to share. I am a Interior Designer, Business Coach and Artist always willing to find passion in all creation. I love sewing, knitting, making jewelry, or playing guitar and writing songs. If your first language is not English - great. I had to learn it myself and am great in playing with word association. Of course also DIY projects with some power tools that I can teach you how to use. I love to help you discover who you are and open your eyes to your own great path.
There is lots of work to do organizing the household with fixing and repairing things. Also the help is that of a housekeeper for us and one dog . Making sure things are tidy and clean. Cooking, cleaning and walking or hiking. There are great hiking trails to explore.
The accommodation is a guest trailer or a separate sleeping bunk house that uses the main house bathroom. In the city of Victoria you have your own room with bath.
This post is for one person only and someone that would like to experience the West Coast Culture and people and
loves dogs and nature. If you are interested to apply please indicate what the time frame is that you want to join me.
I am always happy to hear from you!
