Description
I am a retired Registered nurse.
My husband passed away a little over a year ago.
I find it difficult to manage some of the outside and inside chores to be done.
I live on the water and have a 3 bedroom 3 bath home.
A large yard with a riding lawnmower.
3 large veggie garden beds that need to be planted.
As well many flower gardens to be weeded.
Also small jobs like touch up paint etc.
I would love to have someone who is able to assist with these things and be tidy in his or her room in my home.
They can have the use of the home as well while here.
I am retired.
And would welcome the company.
Ideally it would be great if someone could be here in the summer months.
And it give them an opportunity to see Nova Scotia at its best.
It is a beautiful place to explore.
I live on the water and a 2 minute walk to the beach.
Very lovely little town called Lahave.
15 minutes from Lunenburg.
An hour and 15 minutes from Halifax.
The nearest town is Bridgewater 15 minutes away as well in the other direction.
I have kayaks and close to the yacht club.
I live beside an old Fort and lighthouse and Sea captain cemetery.
I have a split level with 2 bedrooms and a livingroom and bathroom downstairs.
Also a separate entrance.
So certainly time to oneself if needed.
I enjoy cooking ,but also love to learn new foods from others who want to share in the cooking.
We are fortunate to have a Farmers market in Lunenburg with all the fresh meat and veggies.
But love to grow my own in my raised garden beds.
I do not smoke and would prefer someone who didn't smoke.
Only outside if necessary.
I have 2 very friendly cats as well.Types of help and learning opportunities
