Description
===============
**** New availability as of June 19th!! ****
===============
Our family is comprised of myself, Sam, my husband Elan and our three sons Ezra (Dec 2018), Itaï (Jan 2022) and Liav (Apr 2023). We have also 1 dog, Marlo. We are looking for someone to help care for the boys as well as participate in our other projects such as gardening and construction.
We live in Harrington, QC. We are in the heart of the forest. We are located about 25 mins from Mont-Tremblant, an international tourist destination. Our region is known for it's beautiful lakes and rivers , hiking trails and outdoor activities. At our business one can find hiking trails, gardens, a private lake and more.
In our free time we like
- Laughing
- Swimming in the lake
- Campfires
- Relaxing in a hammock
- Singing in the sun
- Listening to the forest
- Hiking
- Canoeing
EATING delicious food!!!!!
Our expectation is for the Workawayer to integrate into family life and help where possible. Gardening and food transformation are things the workawayer can participate in. We also have various construction projects underway which the workawayer can contribute to should they wish to. We would love help with caring for the boys, light cleaning and meal prep. Ezra started school in September of 2023 and as such is gone all day from Monday to Friday most weeks. We can offer a unique forest experience as well as a weekly stipend $. We appreciate someone who doesn't mind to do some cleaning. There's always things to clean. Always. Always.
