  Description

  I'm a SMBC (Single Mom By Choice) to my 13 month old daughter Rogue and I have a female rescue dog named Loui. I moved to Squamish 8 years ago for the climbing! I discovered the wicked paddleboarding and trail running shortly after that. We live in the top level of a house and my friend lives below us. We each have a dog so the dogs run between the suites when they aren't playing in the fenced in yard, chasing each other around the fire pit.
  
  I was diagnosed with breast cancer 4.5 months after Rogue was born. I just finished 5 months of chemo and had a double mastectomy Dec 1324. I would love to host someone who could help with some house cleaning/cooking, dog walking and childcare. Having some help would allow me to properly repair my body with food, bodywork appointments, yoga a friends. I'm a traveller and I miss it. I would love the opportunity to host someone who's on an adventure!
  
  We're one block from the spectacular Squamish trail system! As well, the Squamish Bluffs are just 7 minutes away by car.

  Accommodation

  I have a 3 bedroom suite in a house. You would have your own bedroom with double bed. The bathroom is shared but you would have your own sink where you can keep your personal bathroom items. Laundry is in the bathroom as well as a full bathtub. The house has a big backyard with fire pit which you're welcome to use. We have tons of firewood as well.

The house is 400m to the grocery store, restaurants or anything else you would need. There is a bus stop that takes you to downtown Squamish 300m from the house.
