    Description

    We are empty nesters, living in a spacious house in beautiful Nanaimo (85000 people) on Vancouver Island. I teach at the local University and my wife runs a cake business. If you are looking for a place in Canada where the winters do not get too cold, this is us!

    We need help with general maintenance in and around the house, some renovations, gardening, landscaping, help in the kitchen, shopping, supporting some events etc.

    At present, we are planning to do some renovations e.g. kitchen, painting, maybe flooring and could do with some additional help. Experience & drivers license would be great and if you can come as a couple, even better.

    We love having people around and will try to make you feel home away from home.
    We can pick you up from the ferry or airport.

    We also have four very well behaved cats.
