Description
We are an easy going, fun, active & busy family living in beautiful Squamish British Columbia Canada! We enjoy the outdoors including mountain biking, hiking, skiing and anything water related.
Come explore the best that the West Coast of Canada has to offer. Squamish is surrounded by mountains, the ocean and has several small lakes.
We are only 45 minutes to Whistler to the North and 45 min to West Vancouver to the South.

Help
We are currently looking for someone to help us with work around our house to paint our shed & our fence. All supplies will be supplied including painting clothes depending on your size. There may also be a bit of gardening work but nothing heavy.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Accommodation
Fully furnished, Self contained studio suite with kitchen including stove & fridge & your own balcony with table & chairs with a view of the mountains. Storage for sporting goods such as mountain bike. Walking distance (2 blocks) to grocery store and coffee shops etc.
As we are a busy family working and with 2 boys in multiple sports, we are unable to provide meas. HOWEVER, your accommodations that we offer you has a kitchen with a stove, fridge, pots & pans, utensils, dishes etc. for you to prepare your own meals. There is a fully stocked grocery shop and bakery just 2 blocks away to purchase food on your own.
As we will not be able to provide meals, instead of asking for 5 hours per day with 2 days off, we are only asking 3 hours per day for 5 days and 2 days off within a week. However, if you wish you may do something like 6 hours of work one day and then take a day off instead the next day. We are flexible.
We find this arrangement works best as most people wanting to come explore Squamish are here to also visit surrounding areas such as Whistler so want more time to do so.
This arrangement is best suited for someone who would like to interact with our friendly family but have their own space and schedule.
What else ...
Must be a NON-SMOKER and NO PETS.
We also request that you speak a bit of English, enough to communicate with us about what tasks we require and expectations while living in our home so that both yourself and ourselves are comfortable in our arrangement.
