    Description

    We are a german/canadian couple with two little kids, 8 and 5 who operate tourism base rental cabins in the Yukon Territory. We have a few cabins we are renting out year round and also offering little adventure tours.
    As we expand and make ongoing improvements to buildings and surroundings, we could need some help on day to day base on site, as we are just a little family and don't have a big crew on site. We also have chickens and sleddogs on our little place.
    Preferable we would like to have somebody with construction skills, or people who know how to use hand and power tools of any kind. A single person or a couple would be fine. We have lots of projects for the upcoming season and could need help for a minimum of 4 weeks or longer if possible.
    You would stay in your own little cabin, equipped with a little kitchen.

    We are happy to answer any kind of questions and are looking forward to hear from you!

    Warm Regards,
    Nicole & Hendrik
