  • Description

    Description

    We live in the heart of spruce grove alberta, 15 minutes from west edmonton mall! We live in a 5 bed 2 bath home in a quiet but central neighborhood. We have 2 family dogs, and 2 family cats all of which are friendly. We also board 7 goats out at a friends home an hour away and visit them once a week. We LOVE the outdoors, wether its fishing, outdoor pools, lakes/rivers, or a day at a spray park. We also love traveling and doing cool experiences like farmers markets, indoor playgrounds, corn mazes, local vendors, and ice fishing.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You could learn better English, learn to fish, learn goat husbandry and vetting. We offer the ability to seek adventure in the outdoors. Learn canadian cuisine. To top it off you could get hours towards childcare and have me be used as a reference for any of these things for future endeavors.

    I am mostly looking for someone willing to provide childcare before and after school. She does take the bus so theres no need to drive her, this would be around an hour before school, up to 3 hours after school. Would like for someone to be able to keep the house clean (1-2 hrs a week) so on my days off we can travel and explore and do fun things! Cooking dinner can be a job of mine or we can split it up! You would have to make yourself breakfast and lunch, my cupboards are ALWAYS full of food, and im more than happy to buy things you want too.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Furnished room in the basement with own living room, bathroom but shared laundry and kitchen. Or we can set up the spare room upstairs for you as well whatever your more comfortable with. I have no problem cooking dinner each night but food will be provided for any other meals. I may be working 5 days a week so youd need to make your own breakfast and lunch. However we always have a stocked fridge and pantry and am more than happy to pick up any ingredients youd like for your meals!

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We are 15 mins from west edmonton mall which has over 800 stores to go shopping, it has an amusement park and water park, as well as an indoor ice rink. We are less than 15 mins away from lakes and rivers if you wanna rent kayaks or paddle board. Edmonton is home to various clubs and has an extravagant night life, we are 2.5 hours from calgary and 3.4 hrs from Banff. We are also only 3 hrs from Jasper national park. Between Edmonton and calgary is a beautiful mountain range that boasts hiking, wild horses, waterfalls, and off grid camping.
    Whoever applies will need a license valid in canada, I do have two running vehicles so you would be able to do things during the day while the child is in school!
