Description
Hello! We are a family of six. My husband and I live on a large, quiet acreage, while our four young adult children are currently away attending post-secondary school.
Our property is surrounded by trees and features a peaceful, park-like backyard. We also share our home with Maya, our friendly outdoor dog, outdoor cat, Butterscotch, her kitten ( no name yet) and Charlie, a very affectionate outdoor cat who adopted us!
We are looking for someone to join us from late September or early October until the end of October. We would appreciate help with general house and yard help and collecting and stacking wood near our outdoor wood boiler. We use a lot of wood for winter so it is a big job.
If this sounds like a good fit, we would love to hear from you! -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You would learn how to bake bread, pies and you would also have the opportunity to experience our lifestyle. I dont do it as much as I use too because there's only two of us. We love to show you the area or at the very least give you advice on your travel itinerary, what you must do and see. We would love it if you like to cook your favourite dishes, if you like cooking. We want you to have a great experience as well!

What else ...
Our home is located 45 mins from Calgary, AB. and 2 hrs from Edmonton and Banff area
We have a beautiful park like acreage and we need help keeping it nice. My husband works a lot, I am currently working at home (financial services) so it's an opportune time for us to host as I can be around. We also prefer someone to stay a couple weeks or more if we work well together. We are easy going. We prefer someone who would love to be a part of the family and just be free to be you. We enjoy your enthusiasm. -
