  • Description

    Description

    I am a grandmother to eleven beautiful grandchildren. I love to attend events such as baseball, hockey and motocross races and watch my grandchildren.
    I have four children who live with their families close by. One of my sons works and lives in Austria which has given me the opportunity to travel in Europe.
    I have several foster children who keep in contact with me adding so much to our family.
    I love to travel to and support orphan children in Nepal.
    I support Seniors in our community, sitting on boards and advocating for services.
    I live with my two dogs and a cockatiel.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I live in a town 14 kms from the City of Calgary close to the mountains. Our town is diverse and offers many cultural experiences.
    I was a foster parent for 47 years and currently spend any spare time working with and supporting orphans in Nepal.
    My home has welcomed exchange students and people needing a temporary home. I love to share our town, province and country with others.

    Help

    I have two French Bulldogs, Diesel and Lily. I like to travel and prefer tender loving care for my puppies in their own home.
    I also would welcome someone who is interested in helping with household cleaning and yard cleanup. I live a very busy life and my greatest desire is to age graciously at home.
    I am a senior and welcome companionship.
