  Description

  We are a family of 3, couple with a 9 year old. We enjoy attending hiking, cultural events, daytrips, when we can we love being outdoors. At home, we play games, read, watch lots of moview and play fuzzball. We sometimes go watch soccer games. We live in Vancouver and need someone to walk our son to school.
  
  I will need someone to take him to school and pick him up and perhaps taking him to various after school activities
  We are very social and often have friends over and when we visit others you are welcome to come with us. Usually, at dinner time we like to sit around and talk about current events. You will have plenty of time to practice English.

  You will have a private room with a private bathroom, and a living room that is only used by my son sometimes. There is a small kitchen there as well but you are welcome to use the upstairs kitchen as it is equipped and stocked. You will have unlimited access to our living room as we are social and love company. There is a large patio at the back great for reading or relaxing in the summer.

  What else ...

  We are located in Vancouver near Trout Lake near the buses, bike routes and SkyTrain so it is a great place to explore Vancouver from. Lots of cute neighbourhoods to explore. We are not far from the shuttle bus to the muntains if you like skiing and snowboarding.
