We are a 3 generation family that needs help with yard and house maintenance from time to time. Short notice inquiries rather then long range planning works best for us as the help required and accommodation changes too rapidly to make arrangements months ahead. We live on the ocean in a lovely small town on the Sunshine Coast of B.C., just 2.5 hours from Vancouver Int'l Airport. It is accessed by ferry or seaplane, and would be considered a remote destination. Sechelt (a bigger town) is a 30 minute drive, and the entire coast is ~150 kilometres from one end (Langdale) to the other (Earls Cove). We eat a lot of seafood.

Madeira Park, Pender Harbour is central to hiking trails, fishing adventures, sightseeing, culinary and cultural experiences in our scenic, protected harbour. There are 11 lakes in the area and over 5000 years of First Nation history. We are a family of longtime residents in the community. Three generations of commercial fishermen and we sell wild seafood products that we catch and have custom processed into various products. Our elderly parents live next door and they enjoy drop in companionship.
Right now we are seeking hardy and capable people to undertake yard maintenance using hand tools at our side-by-side residences on Francis Peninsula. Cleaning, painting, weeding, trimming brush, gardening, housekeeping and possible elder companionship. There's always things to get done so please inquire and let us know your skill set. Thank you for considering us!

Pender Harbour offers beautiful scenery and peaceful living. We have a dog (shepherd/lab/collie mix) that loves walks and chasing a ball. It would be most convenient to have a vehicle but you can manage without one. We are super tidy and respectful folks and expect same. No drinking, no smoking and no drugs.
