    Description

    Hello I am a single mother of a 16 year old girl. We live on Vancouver Island in the beautiful Cowichan Valley. We have two dogs and two cats. We live on a hobby farm on 38 acres. I build tiny homes here on the property. There is also a big farm house and a couple of RVs. I need help renovating the farm house and hopefully starting a garden. You would have your own room and a private bathroom. It is all being updated and renovated so you would have to be used to a little caos. Thanks and look forward to meeting some new friends.
