Details

• 

  Description

  We are located centrally in Peterborough, ON. It is a small city located 1.5hrs by bus from Toronto. Our helpers are able to help with household chores, cleaning, cooking, and helping to care for our 3 children (5, 7, and 9). We are a very active family, biking, fishing, sledding, swimming and lots of running and games.
  
  We are looking for helpers that have an interest or experience with children, and a preference for native French speakers, as all of our children are in French Immersion. We have hosted many international students and hope to share our town with you. Our home is centrally located, close to a nice lake, the Trent-Severn Canal, biking trails and a short walk to downtown. We are looking for helpers that would arrive at the start of July 2022.
