Help
We are looking share our home and life with new friends. We ran our home as a bed and breakfast for 7 years prior to the pandemic. We welcomed people from all over the world, and we are so grateful they came into our lives and we had the pleasure to share our stories and cultures. We would like to welcome guests in our home once again but we have chosen to do it this way.
We live about 35 minutes from Niagara falls in a rural area away from the city and 45 minutes from Niagara on the Lake, which is one of the major wine regions in the area.
We have a five bedroom home, with both parents working, and two very active 5 year old twin girls. They started senior kindergarten in fall and go to school full-time, Monday through Friday from 7:30- 3:30, as well as after school daycare 3 days a week and too many extracurricular activities to mention. They lead a very active life so they are not around the house that often, so interaction would be very limited, and it's quite coveted when they are.
We are currently looking for assistance with painting around the house, and help with cleaning an organizing things.
