Description
We are a fun-loving, adventurous, family looking for someone to join our home for four months or more! We love it when our children get to build strong relationship with those joining our family.
We are looking for someone to join our family from either June or September.
We are active and like to enjoy life outdoors and split our time between Vancouver and Ucluelet on Vancouver Island (when the kids have school holidays). We live in a pretty sweet spot that's perfect for exploring everything Vancouver has to offer. We are very close to Vancouver's city centre which is about 15 mins by bus or bike. We're also very close to Granville Island, Kits beach and other beautiful parks. We love to be outside, especially over the summer when Vancouver is lovely and warm and right on the ocean.
We are looking for a responsible and fun person who can get along well with our kids now age 11 & 9 and also our ausiedoodle named Ted. . Anyone who has experience with children and is happy to jump in and get their hands dirty with us is ideal!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We speak English and some French. My husband in British and I am Canadian so you can take your pick of accents to master!
We have lived in Vancouver for 10+ years and so look forward to introducing you to all our cool friends and sharing all the best bits Vancouver has to offer - the sights, playing outdoors, going on bike rides, swims at the pool or beach, and sharing life's adventures! We also spend a lot of time on Vancouver Island and love exploring there.
We live in a pretty sweet spot that's perfect for exploring everything Vancouver has to offer. We're close to the city centre, Vancouver's best beaches, and you'll have access to British Columbia's great outdoors with the mountains and wilderness close by.
We're a family of entrepreneurs, always coming up with amazing ideas so we can retire early (no, we haven't quite managed it yet!) I run an online store and my husband runs a project management community website so if you like, there are opportunities to learn and explore the world of websites, and eCommerce too!
If you are looking for fun and adventure at a home away from home then you're welcome! We're looking forward to having you with us!
