    Description

    Hello, WE ARE BOOKING FOR Summer/Fall of 2026 for June, July, August, and end of September, October

    This year we have yard work, some light cleaning, help with Laundry and the Boys.
    Possibly some painting.

    We are a family of 5 with 3 boys. Craig, Angela, Dayton, 22, Beau, 14, and Graysen, 11. Dayton no longer lives with us but is around now and then. This picture is a few years old but we look similar, boys are a bit taller. We live in what we consider PARADISE, overlooking the Rocky Mountains just outside of Bragg Creek, AB.

    We have one cat and one dog however they both live a lovely life outside in the large yard.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The foothills of Alberta are stunning and we are a very flexible family. We grew up in Alberta and would love to share the western culture. We are very friendly, happy people who love to share any knowledge we can and just need some help with some projects since we both work a lot and these kids keep us busy as well.

    Help

    We are looking for help to clear trees, prep firewood and the yard for winter, clear the garden and prep for the next season, finish building a wood shack and possibly build a greenhouse. There may be the odd time we need someone to help with meals and keep an eye on the boys, however if you love to cook we would not complain if you wanted to cook more often. Summer will be weeding and yard maintenance, Fall includes yard clean up prepping for winter, and both may include some household chores/organizing.

    What else ...

    It is preferable that you have your own transportation. We are 20 minutes to Calgary, just minutes to Kananaskis Provincial Park, and amazing hiking, sightseeing and exploring. Five minutes to Bragg Creek which is a beautiful little Touristy Town with many Coffee Shops and Restaurants.

    There is no public transportation out here and with our busy schedules it’s hard to be driving someone else places.
