Description
**Update March 2025 - next availability will be August 17-Sept 25 and then again late November**
We are non-smokers and prefer non-smokers - only one female please.
We are a small family of 3 girls... Mum, daughter and little schnauzer. We live in Vancouver and have wonderful neighbours. My daughter is 12 years old, and is in school and activities. I work shifts - usually 3-4 per week. We are an active family and enjoy the outdoors. Preference given to French and German speakers as my daughter is being brought up bilingual.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am Irish born Canadian. English is my mother tongue. I have lived in many cities in Canada and visited most of the others so can help you plan trips. My daughter could teach you piano if you do not know how, and if you get along, potentially French also.

Help
I am a single mother looking for a helper in the near future. I have a 13 year old girl and a little dog. General help around the house plus childcare while I am at work (shifts, 2-4 per week, various hours) is wanted, plus loving our dog and keeping her watered and fed and walked.
Some cooking is required, dishes, tidying, help with laundry for my daughter. One Female only please. Plenty of free time. Bonus points if you speak German as I am trying to teach my child german (not my mother tongue). Double bonus if you speak German and French!
Languages
Languages spoken
German: Fluent
English: Fluent
French: IntermediateThis host offers a language exchange
I am a native English speaker, and speak German fluently also as a second language. I understand French but struggle to speak it. My daughter understands German, prefers not to speak it, and speaks and understands French well. She is a native English speaker also.
Accommodation
Private room in our house with separate bathroom (could be shared with another). Shared living space with the family, access to bicycle, close to transit.
What else ...
We are in the city of Vancouver so everything the city has to offer is within reach with public transit. We have had mainly German aupairs living with us for 12 years and enjoy the company of travellers. There is varied time off because of my shifts - sometimes days during the week, sometimes weekends, every week is different. There are 2 community centres within 15 minute walk of us with ice rink, library, pool and fitness rooms. Lots of cafes and shops a block away on the commercial drive we live near.
