Description
Hi, we are a family of 6. My husband and I have 4 young adults. All of our children are in post secondary and do not live at home. We have a large acreage with many trees and is a very quiet home. Our backyard is park-like. We have and 1 outside dog (Maya) and an outdoor cat that found us and is super friendly. We named her Charlie. There is always so much work in the area of yard work and organization.

You would learn how to bake bread, pies and you would also have the opportunity to experience our lifestyle. 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!
Help
We are looking for people who are honest, trustworthy, enthusiastic, takes initiative, intuitive, mindful and helpful. You'd help us out by gardening, yard work, gathering deadfall for firewood, cutting lower limbs of trees, chainsaw use, clearing out clutter and general cleaning. We prefer couples or 2 people traveling together because it's quiet here and might get lonely if by yourself.
