    Description

    Hi! I am needing help with yard tasks, firewood stacking, gardening and my kennel while I work another part time job. There are 2 cats as well.


    I live in a modern log home with good internet. You would have your own loft bedroom sharing with two cats on occasion. There is lots of access to trails in the woods. There is a creek here and lake nearby.

    Experience in walking or training friendly dogs would be helpful.
    We will share the cooking. I have celiac disease so no gluten allowed in the house. But I promise, we eat pretty good!! And chocolate is always allowed lol

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I am an outdoors loving person who works during the day part time but love my dogs, gardening, hiking and biking. I also like doing my own home renos and other jobs of acreage living.
    If you need a patient English teacher and/or if you would be able to teach French to me, that would be great!

    Help

    I am needing 1 person to help here in Tagish.
    In spring and summer, the work is only a few hours a day, so lots of time to work from home or walk trails. You would be walking/playing with friendly dogs and watering plants. This would enable me to volunteer on local ambulance.
