Description
We would like 2 people preferably couple or 2 friends. We need help in our garden and small projects for April and May. We are on a beautiful little island. Our cabin for guests has 2 bedrooms - 3 piece bath, kitchen, comfortable beds, very clean. , deck with a view, internet.. barbecue . We also have an outdoor shower for us all to use. (not at the same time) LOL
We would provide food but prefer not to do the cooking except occasionally. We have a beautiful garden and need much help in the spring. We are two women in our 70s and 80's. but fit and active so we would be working with you some of the time. . We have kayaks and paddle boards and a block from the beach. The island is Savary in B.C. Canada. We are on the north side with a view of the water. Often see whales and dolphins. Great place for beach walking, beautiful sandy beaches.
Small projects that may include window cleaning, eaves cleaning, power washing decks, probably a bit of painting, odd jobs but mostly yard work, gardening , maybe occasional house cleaning.
Happy to answer any questions.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
They could learn about life on a small west coast island, maybe talk to people who fish, kayaking is fabulous way to view the wild life in the reefs, seals abound, sea lions on the south side of the island, forest walks, Very interesting little island.
Help
As we are in our 70's ad 80's having help is really important to us. We do not need workers with any particular skill, gardening with support and other small projects as I mentioned maybe a bit of painting , windows, eaves, etc.
