  Description

  We are a family of five, with children aged 7, 5, and 2. We have a busy summer. My husband leaves for the summer for commercial fishing. We have a large garden, a small poultry flock, and a large yard. We'd love to host someone who would want to do language teaching with the kids and help around the property. We love meeting new people, especially those who have different cultural backgrounds from our own.

  Help

  We are a family with three young children and we would love to expose them to another language and culture. We also have a large vegetable garden during the summer months and would like help with this. We also have a couple of dogs that love getting exercise outside and have a small poultry flock that needs daily care.

  Accommodation

  Small cabin that is located on our property, a short walking distance from our house. A visitor would have the cabin to themselves and would be able to use our house for laundry, showering, etc. We would generally host our visitor for dinners when we are home but there is a small kitchen in the cabin and the visitor would be expected to do breakfast and lunch on their own.

  What else ...

  Homer is a lovely town, very vibrant in the summer with tourism activity. We are excited to share our community and family with someone who wants to learn about Alaska and living in a small, rural town.
