  Description

  Aloha!
  
  We are looking to host someone looking to join our family in Maui and Washington state! We also travel frequently including winter ski trips to Whistler and spend summers from June-September at our summer beach home in Point Roberts, WA. You will need a valid passport to travel into Canada. We have 3 children ages 8 month, 2 and 4. We are looking for a helping hand around the house mainly with cooking and cleaning to make our day to days a bit easier. We want to do more gardening and growing our own food and would like assistance with setting up a garden. We would love to learn a new language and have our children learn too! We would in exchange help you in learning English.
  
  We enjoy cooking and eating healthy meals. I love to cook and would love to share my passion for cooking. We also love to exercise and can provide a membership at our gym or any type of fitness activity you'd like to try. Separate housing will be available for you and travel expenses will be paid for when you travel with our family. We are down to earth, easy going people. We are both active people who enjoy living a healthy lifestyle.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Our main residence is in Maui, Hawaii. It is sunny and beautiful here almost all year long with beautiful beaches. In the Hawaiian Islands, the culture of its indigenous people, the Native Hawaiians, still runs strong today. When you visit, you'll have the opportunity to experience the amazing culture here. We would welcome you into our "ohana" which means family in Hawaii. Hawaii is the perfect place to grow which is why we want to start a garden to grow food. There are tons of things to do for the outdoorsy type of person who likes to explore.
  
  Our summer home is in Point Roberts, WA. This is a small, quaint coastal town in WA. It is a very unique spot that is only accessible by traveling through Canada. There is only 1 grocery store and 1 bar/restaurant. We often travel into Canada for access to more amenities. The USA/Canada border is 5 minutes from our home. Point Roberts is a truly unique place! We spend a lot of time in Canada which will give you a chance to see and explore another country.

  Help

  What We Are Looking For:
  
  We are looking to host someone who wants to join our family and help around the house, help us start a garden for more sustainable living and learn/share a new language. Ideally you like dogs, babies and toddlers since we have 3 children and a dog. We would like someone who is trustworthy and has a kind nature. Our family needs an extra set of hands to help with everyday things: running errands (e.g. grocery shopping), cooking, housework, helping take care of our dog Ginger (walks, pick up poop, etc). We would like someone who enjoys cooking and would like to assist me with prepping meals for the family.
