  Description

  We are a busy family, our daughter is a very active 8 year old and our son is 2. We live in a super cool neighbourhood in Burnaby, BC (only five minutes to Vancouver)! We love being outdoors and exploring our city and its surroundings areas. In the summer you will find us at the beach, at an outdoor pool or water park and in the winter we enjoy being in the mountains, skiing or tobogganing!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I am born and raised in Vancouver and we love to be out and about in the city and surrounding areas, hopefully it works for both us and you for you to join on many of these adventures. We live two blocks from Main Street where this. Tons of shopping, restaurants & cafes. Our location is right beside rental bikes, the farmers market and a community centre. There is easy access to bus stops to get around the city to experience everything it has to offer.

  Help

  We are looking for someone to help with day to day tasks around the house, meal planning, food prep, cooking, light cleaning, creating a grocery list, folding laundry, gardening (if you enjoy that!) and just general help with our kids. Our daughter is very active, loves doing crafts, painting / drawing, scooting, biking, going on play dates and going to the park. She just started piano lessons and loves to sing & dance, so a bonus if you play piano or enjoy music! She also has type one diabetes, her care for this is a lot of work, we aren’t expecting anyone to have knowledge on how to care for her medical needs, but it is definitely something that takes a lot of time and our world sort of revolves around caring for her. My son is your average 2 year old: loads of energy, into everything and tons of fun! We go on many adventures every week, as mentioned, summer looks like: a lot of trips to the beach, outdoor pools, picnics, water parks and generally just being outside etc.
