  Description

  🇬🇧 English
  
  Welcome to our home in the heart of nature, nestled in the beautiful village of North Hatley, Quebec.
  I live here with my 9-year-old son Noah — a bright, inventive, and joyful boy who loves Legos, creating things, and exploring the outdoors. He has lots of energy, so we’re looking for a kind, playful, and balanced person who can be both active and calm — someone who can build with him, play outside, and enjoy quiet moments too.
  
  Noah is currently working on improving his reading skills, so having someone patient who enjoys teaching or helping children learn is a big plus.
  
  We also share our home with a small, sweet dog that we adopted while living in the jungle of Costa Rica — she’s gentle and loves company.
  
  I take care of the meals and most house tasks, but I’d love a bit of help with light cleaning and daily organization. Our home is modest but cozy, surrounded by forest and close to the lake and village center. Winters are calm here, and we love going skiing whenever we can!
  
  If you enjoy spending time with children, animals, and nature, we’d love to welcome you as part of our little family.

  Bienvenue dans notre maison au cœur de la nature, nichée dans le charmant village de North Hatley, au Québec.
  Je vis ici avec mon fils Noah, 9 ans — un garçon inventif, curieux et plein de joie. Il adore les Legos, construire, imaginer et jouer dehors. Il déborde d’énergie, donc nous cherchons une personne douce, bienveillante et joueuse, capable d’être autant dans l’action que dans le calme — quelqu’un qui saura être un bon compagnon de jeu pour lui.
  
  Noah a aussi besoin d’un peu d’aide pour progresser dans sa lecture, donc une personne patiente qui aime enseigner ou accompagner les enfants dans leurs apprentissages serait idéale.
  
  Nous avons aussi un petit chien adorable que nous avons adopté lorsque nous vivions dans la jungle du Costa Rica — il est affectueux et aime la compagnie.
  
  Je m’occupe des repas et de la plupart des tâches, mais j’aimerais un petit coup de main pour l’entretien léger et l’organisation du quotidien. Notre maison est simple mais chaleureuse, entourée de forêt et située tout près du lac et du cœur du village. L’hiver est paisible ici, et nous aimons aller skier quand nous le pouvons !
  
  Si tu aimes les enfants, les animaux et la vie en nature, nous serons heureux de t’accueillir dans notre petit cocon familial.

  ¡Bienvenido a nuestro hogar en plena naturaleza, ubicado en el hermoso pueblo de North Hatley, Quebec!
  Vivo aquí con mi hijo Noah, de 9 años — un niño muy creativo, alegre y lleno de energía. Le encantan los Legos, construir cosas y jugar al aire libre. Buscamos a alguien amable, divertido y equilibrado, que sepa compartir momentos tranquilos pero también disfrutar jugando y moviéndose con él.
  
  Noah necesita un poco de ayuda con la lectura, así que una persona paciente a la que le guste enseñar o acompañar a los niños en su aprendizaje sería perfecta.
  
  También compartimos nuestro hogar con una perrita pequeña y dulce, que adoptamos cuando vivíamos en la selva de Costa Rica — es tranquila y cariñosa.
  
  Yo me encargo de la comida y de la mayoría de las tareas, pero agradecería ayuda con la limpieza ligera y la organización diaria. Nuestra casa es sencilla pero acogedora, rodeada de bosque y cerca del lago y del centro del pueblo. En invierno todo está más calmado, y nos gusta mucho ir a esquiar.
  
  Si te gusta convivir con niños, animales y disfrutar de la naturaleza, ¡nos encantaría recibirte como parte de nuestra pequeña familia!

  Help

  I’m looking for someone who’s happy to share both household tasks and time with my son, Noah — a bright, curious 9-year-old who loves learning, building, and spending time outdoors.
  
  Communication and mutual respect are very important to me. I appreciate fresh ideas that can help our home flow with ease, and I want you to feel comfortable, inspired, and welcome here. Come with motivation and an open heart — every day is a chance to share your unique gifts, apply your knowledge, and contribute in a meaningful way.
  
  The ideal person for our home is calm, kind-hearted, and dedicated — someone who enjoys both peaceful moments and active play.
  
  I like to start my mornings early with yoga, and we usually wind down around 8:30–9:00 p.m., as our days begin early.

  From the Jungle of Costa Rica, Noah rescued her when she was 4 months old. She had three babies that we gave in adoption to friends before taking her back with us to Canada. She is lovely, kind dog.
