    Description

    Hi !
    We are living in a small farm in beautiful Charlevoix, Quebec, Canada, 5 minutes from the beach. Our house is a traditionnal farmhouse from 1882.
    We have 2 children under 3, a friendly dog, 2 sheeps, rabbits, a cat, goats, goose and chickens. We are hunting, fishing foraging and growing some of our food.
    I am a painter and my husband is a marine engineer. He left many weeks in the summertime, and I can use extra hands for gardening, taking care of the animals and helping me around our house /barn. I did experienced being a woofer and an aupair nanny when I was younger, so I can relate and I will do everything to make you feel welcome and part of the family ! We love sharing and learning about other cultures, traditions and food.

    By car : La Malbaie (15 min), Baie-Saint-Paul (20 min ), the beach (5 min.). I can give lifts while I am going to towns (app. 2 ou 3 times a week). We have many hikes around our lands and nearby !
    We speak french and english.
