We are a family of three people and two friendly dogs living in Whitehorse, Yukon.
Our daughter Jasper is five and we both work full time. Adam is a software developer and Alison is an engineer.
We love living in the Yukon and sharing it with visitors.
We are a busy, active family looking forward to making new friends to experience the Yukon with.
We have a small detached furnished bachelor suite in our back yard for a workawayer to stay in.
We live in a quiet neighbourhood with mountain views near forests and trails.
Whitehorse offers a great dining, arts, and music scene, wilderness activities, dogsledding, cross country skiing, downhill skiing, and northern lights viewing. In summer there is mountain biking, hiking, fishing, canoeing, and camping. We would be happy to help you enjoy it all!

We are primarily looking for help around the house and babysitting, including light housework, helping get our kid ready for school in the morning, picking her up from the bus stop in the afternoon and preparing dinner. Occasional dog walking and yard work like shoveling snow and raking leaves is also requested.
You would be a good fit if you are energetic, like kids and dogs, are adventurous and active, and can take initiative to help make our busy lives a little easier!
