Description
Hello, we are a farm specializing in hot peppers growing and processing located north of Montreal. We are a family of four, my wife and two children (4 ans 11 years Old) and we need help around the house. We speak french, english and a Little bit of spanish. We have a large diversity of tasks and chores to make troughout the season.(I'm not looking for someone for our business it's for personal help)
For exemple: taking care of personal garden, building greenhouse for our future plan of becoming self sufficient, clean the pool, help keep the house clean, participate in cooking meals, feed the chickens……
You will have days off but someday we have do to more in order to achieve what we started!Types of help and learning opportunities

We are looking for someone who can do several things around the house. We are looking for someone who wants to LEARN about life on the farm.We want someone who would like to help with the day-to-day tasks of meals and daily projects. We are very flexible on the hours of help we work a lot so it is possible to have a flexible schedule 5 hours a day.(I'm not looking for someone for our business it's for personal help)
