Description
Hello - my name is Evelyn and I live outside the beautiful West Coast city of Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada. I am a retired teacher and an avid gardener. I have travelled the world over many decades and I really enjoy meeting new people. I have a large garden and would like help maintaining this, as well as help with general household maintenance.

We are located in Surrey, just outside of Vancouver. The city is easy to access by public transportation.
