We are located in Central Nanaimo with easy access to:• Departure Bay Ferry• Gabriola Island Ferry• Newcastle Island• Beaches, lakes, hiking and biking trails• Vancouver Island University• Day trips to Victoria, Tofino and beyond
Nanaimo offers an amazing balance of ocean, forest and city life. Whether you enjoy kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking, swimming, photography, farmers markets, live music, or simply relaxing by the water, there’s always something to explore nearby.
We live in a welcoming and relaxed home environment and are hoping to find someone kind, responsible and easygoing who enjoys spending time with children and becoming part of day-to-day family life for the month.
We also share our home with one quiet cat named Amara who mostly keeps to herself. 🐈
At this time, we are looking for a nanny/helper from June 1st – July 1st.
What we can offer:• A comfortable place to stay in a central location• Time to explore Vancouver Island during off-hours• Access to beaches, trails and island adventures• A relaxed family atmosphere• Opportunity to experience authentic West Coast island living
We would love to hear from you if you are:• Responsible and dependable• Good with children• Interested in travel and outdoor adventure• Looking for a meaningful cultural exchange and summer experience
