    We are a couple who have a nice house near the university in Waterloo ,On Canada. We are bicycling enthusiasts with bicycles the candidates could use to get around the city. We need help with house cleaning and maintenance. We are close to Toronto and Niagara Falls and there will be opportunities to see both. You will have your own large bedroom with private bathroom . There is a walk out to back yard and also exercise equipment and hot tub which candidate could use. Waterloo is a very progressive city with 3 Universities and a leader in new technology in Canada. Also we have a famous farmers market that runs 3 days a week and which bus tours frequent. We have a big farm community of old order Mennonites in the area. Also we are only a 1/2 hour away from the renowned Shakespeare festival in Stratford Ontario. Kitchener/Waterloo also has a Symphony Live theatre with out standing artists. There also are Drayton theatres with professional entertainment close by. The grand river runs through the cities and there is opportunity to canoe or kayak on the river. There are also many hiking trails and clubs in the area.
