  Description

  We live in a small city Chilliwack, approximately 1.5hours from the heart of downtown Vancouver.
  My name is Mel (mom) I am 31 years old. I work for our family business with My husband Taylor (33). We have a busy lifestyle and constantly are up to something. We are lucky because even though we both work full time we find that we have flexible schedules to still be present with the kids.
  Our son Grehy is 8! grade 3. Our daughter Georgia is 6! grade 1. Our youngest son Lachlan is turning 5! In kindergarten. And we have a 6 month old baby !
  Our dog Kulah is a 12 year old German Shepherd.
  
  Our family is healthy… I am basically Vegan, my husband eats meat. I do the cooking in the house but some nights if you wanted to help out, I would love that!! Dinner is always cooked but breakfast/lunch is kind of a fend for yourself. Weekends we do brunches. We are a very easy going family! We like to go with the flow. We thrive off a clean and organized home. And we enjoy good meals and good company.
  
  You will have your own bedroom downstairs. We will make it as cozy and comfortable for you as possible! We want this to feel like your home too! The bathroom is also Downstairs but shared with the kids.
  
  Honestly just looking for an extra set of hands to help with playing, light house work such as laundry, dishwasher, vacuuming and keeping your shared bathroom tidy. And help after dinner to tidy up together and be a team to get all the kids to sleep. I hope we are a good fit for your lifestyle too! Please message with any questions, can’t wait to meet you!
