Description
hello Workawayers . We are family of seven. My husband is a doctor and i am a teacher but currently stay at home mom . We live in Maple Ridge in the metro Vancouver area and we need help with housekeeping and farm help . We live in a farm with breath taking scenery, multiple ponds for canoeing and creeks for fishing and swimming, gazebos and walking bridges. Surrounded by a massive network of hiking, biking and horse trails. We have cats , chickens and sheep. We have five children. You are sometimes expected to do childcare or baby sitting if needed. Only if kids are comfortable with you .We need help about five hours a day . We will ensure you having two days off a week to explore Vancouver and BC .Maple ridge downtown is 10 minutes drive and Vancouver downtown is 45 minutes drive not in rush hour . We are surrounded by famous beaches and lakes. Alleuotte lake and beach is a waking distance or 5 minute drive. Bus stop is half an hour walk and five minutes drive. Dropping off and pick up from sky train is possible if well planned.
Our future Workaway need to be good and patient with children. Need to be able to help when needed on daily basis . non smoker and non drinker at least in our house but of course feel free in your days off outside in your on terms . Absolutely NO drugs no loud music . We provide weekly shopping for basic needs( bread , milk . Meat, fruits and veg . Some pop etc ) but no snacks or special diets. We prefer a female with lots of house keeping experience. If you just graduated high school and never did laundry or Fried an egg before it’s not the right place for you . We will treat you like family so if you are not a family person maybe we are not meant to be. We would love for people to stay as long as they possibly can as kids get so upset when previous Workaway left . Please don’t contact us if you are staying less than one month . We value honesty and transparency and appreciate people .
