Hi, We are a family of 4 (mom &3 school-aged children) looking for someone to help with my children and house. I'm a nurse and work full time. I am looking for an extra set of hands to keep up with my three kids and my home in Yellowknife, NT. I am hoping for some help with cleaning, laundry and yard work. I also have an overweight cat that needs a little attention and a very energetic puppy who loves to go for walks.
