Description
I am mother of 2 young girls who is seeking support at home to be able to have enough time to make nutritious meals and maintain a balanced lifestyle. My youngest daughter is 3 months old and her father has recently moved away, so I could really use some extra help to have home life feel more comfortable.
We live in a cooperative of 16 families and 60 people, where we share a common land and some projects. Waterville is known to be very family friendly and culturally inviting.
My eldest daughter will be attending school in the fall, and ideally I would take up a small job outside of the home to keep myself feeling fulfilled as a woman and not just a mom :)
The education I offer at home and in the neighbourhood school is Waldorf-based, and so I prefer that interested workers are interested in alternative education (like unschooling, montessori, forest schooling, etc).
A little bit about me:
I am an artist and somebody who loves travelling and creating precious. moments. I am a co-founder and core membre of a non-profit forest school in the neighbouring village. I love to garden and am passionate about plant medicine. I consider myself a spiritual person but don't adhere strongly to a particular religion.
I love to share and create with others. I have often lived with room mates and feel that a shared life is a happier one.
I enjoy participating in festivals related to earth skills and art. I would be happy to share with you of my knowledge as well as contacts for festivals and gatherings in the area.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I have travelled to many countries and am experienced with many cultures.
On a personal level, I could offer a comforting home from where you could explore and know the land. Estrie is full of beautiful trails and forest which I explore regularly. I would love to take you on walks with me and introduce you to people who I feel would resonate well with your characteristics.
Help
I would like help with taking care of my daughters for me to manage making meals, running errands, or possibly working eventually. I would need about 15 hours or help per week in exchange for a stay. I don't want to time the hours, I would like it to be flexible!
I am only looking for assistance given that my children are very young. You would not be left alone with them.
