  Description

  Hi!
  
  I'm a single mom to a great teenager. We live in a spacious house from the 1920's which needs more tender loving than I can give it right now. Our loving cats Cihiro and Squid, and our tiny dog Monchi absolutely adore two legged creatures. We're an LGBTQIA+ friendly household.
  
  Our house is big and has two living rooms if you need privacy. Although life has thrown us some real tough challenges, we're joyous persons. The kid loves to play piano, guitar, and ukulele. They're a devoted artist, and absolutely love drag queens.
  
  We're looking for skilled individuals with handyman experience. If you're looking for a great place in a marvellous city by the ocean this might be it.
  
  Wishing you all the best on this path of yours.
  
  Annika

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We're a Swedish Canadian household and I'm fluent in French and Quebecois. We love having guests and see them as part of our family. I practice mindfulness and we have a lovely yoga room at your disposal. We love nature excursions and we live not far from the ocean. I master many cuisines, and am especially interested in lactose and gluten free delicacies. My kid's a great baker, artist, and musician. I also have a past in the film and media business, am well travelled, and over all a knowledgeable and enthusiastic person. I've been teaching anything from film, media, and VR to mindfulness, and personal development.
