We are a family of four with two little ones ages 3 and 2. We are looking for a single non-smoking, motivated, outgoing and friendly female that ideally has some childcare experience or who just loves kids and has basic English language skills. Must also enjoy gardening and indoor cleaning as there will be a little of that as well. We live on a beautiful quiet island very close to Vancouver with lots of beaches, hiking trails and friendly neighbours. Our house is within walking distance to the ferry, stores and restaurants. Home cooked meals are mainly vegetarian as I do most of the cooking and I don't eat meat. We typically all go about our days then come together for a nice dinner and conversation in the evening. You are included in all our family activities on the weekends or are welcome to go explore as you wish on your time off. We are a fun loving, outdoor adventuring, laid back family. If this interests you at all please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you!

Help in the house
We are new to Workaway but have been a part of other hosting platforms online for years now and everyone always enjoys cooking with me and learning new recipes. I love creating in the kitchen! You may also learn something new about plants, gardens, boats and endless learning opportunities from the two little kids. haha Our guests really love the quiet and serenity Bowen has to offer. They always comment upon leaving how relaxed they feel. Yes, you are here to work but you are also here to experience all that our family, Bowen and its surroundings has to offer you.
We are looking for help with the kids taking care of them when we are both working. Taking them on adventures outside, playing with them, feeding them and engaging in activities such as arts and crafts, puzzles, painting etc. I would also like some help in the house keeping the kitchen clean, general house cleaning, being my sous chef in the kitchen at dinner time and getting your hands dirty in the garden once in a while.

You will have your own private bedroom with a water view and bathroom upstairs. This is separate from our space as our bedrooms are two floors below you. The middle floor is our living area and kitchen. With a deck overlooking the ocean where you can enjoy meals and a quiet moment if you wish.
In your free time there is lots to do on Bowen Island especially in the summer months. There are lots of great local beaches for swimming, there's endless hiking trails and we have access to a canoe, kayaks, paddle boards and a sailboat. We are often doing some of these activities on the weekends which you are welcome to join us. I am always happy to drive you anywhere on island if there is a specific activity you wish to partake in on your own. There is also a local bus system on island that goes to most places. We are also only a short ferry ride and 30 minute bus trip away from Downtown Vancouver. So very easy to day trips to the city or go in for a couple days on your two days off a week.
