  • Description

    Description

    We are a Canadian/Dutch family. Mom (Dutch), Dad (Canadian) a 13 old son (Roan) and a almost 6 year old son (Ziggy).
    We are mostly looking for help with the kids and we always have house projects to help us with,
    I would love for the kids to have people to play/ hang out with. I love for the kids to get different travellers to tell their stories of how they grew up, their culture, language, where they come from etc.
    Our oldest goes to a forest school program 4 days a week and our youngest is about to start grade 1.
    We are looking for people that want to follow our children’s interest/ passions and show them your passion/ skills. Like making music, dancing, cooking, gardening, woodwork, writing stories, drawing, the ideas are endless.
    Besides spending time with the kids, house project are always plenty too.
    We live in the middle of a nature park on a lake and love to explore our forest around us. It’s half a hour/ 40 minutes away from town, with the nearest bus stop 4 kilometres away. We are always open to give you a lift or lend you our bike or car.
    We like healthy food, believe in nutrition above pharmaceuticals. We are not vegetarian but don't eat a lot of meat.

    Looking forward to hear from you!
