    Description

    We are a Canadian/Dutch family. Mom (Dutch), Dad (Canadian) a 15 year old son (Roan) and an almost 7 year old son (Ziggy).
    We are mostly looking for help with the kids and we always have house and garden projects on the go.
    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, passions, interests, language, where they come from etc.
    Our oldest goes to high school after being homeschool mostly until now. And our youngest is being homeschooled and has one forest school.
    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, doing board games, drawing, the ideas are endless.
    Besides spending time with the kids, house and garden projects 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, do eat meat, believe in nutrition above pharmaceuticals.

    Looking forward to hear from you!
