Description
We are full for June - thanks!
Stay in a comfortable four bedroom two bathroom home in a very convenient location in beautiful Victoria BC. You will have your own bedroom and we have high speed internet.
We need help mostly with:
general yard work and gardening
cleaning
packing/moving (we are moving from one home to another at end of June)
other small maintenance matters
We can accommodate vegetarians. We, unfortunately, cannot accept those on special diets such as keto, vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, organic only, or nut-free as we provide only what we ourselves eat which includes dairy and eggs. We may accept workawayers who are willing to provide for their own special dietary needs, but please confirm in advance so you are not disappointed.
We are not able to accept smokers. We have no pets.
We enjoy family, gardening, cooking, being away and being at home. We have travelled a lot and enjoy meeting new people.Types of help and learning opportunities

We will meet with you but you will be on your own a lot of the time. Our place is centrally located and near the buses so you will be close to much of what the beautiful garden city of Victoria has to offer. If you are in Parksville we will be on site in a different suite during your stay.
Help
We are looking for garden and yard work primarily. Experience in this area is a plus. Cleaning and home maintenance experience are also very useful. Carpentry skills would be excellent.
