Description
We have an active home right across from Trout Lake with other adults and kids living there, so often need help around the house and with the kids ages 6 and 8. I run a non profit theatre organization that is very well loved in Vancouver , so often need help with the Cabaret!
Regarding the hours for work, we offer accommodation only and the work aways buy their own food.
The work is 15 hours a week, which translates to 3 hours a day with 2 days off, or we are very flexible and we can often work out flexible hours, with days off of your choice.
We take care of dogs occasionally, so there may or may not be dogs with us! We Own a beautiful cat.
We have internet.
The accommodation is in a room shared with other work away.
The house is directly across from the only lake in Vancouver, and a huge community center with a sauna and gym and classes.

Help
There's so many different options for activities that it's hard to name. I think any interest you have can be what you end up doing here, but also the things that always need to get done are general house help, childcare, and organization of stuff and things!

Accommodation
A mattress on the floor in a private guest room, or a single bed. People must be comfortable sharing a room because often we have multiple work away at once.

We have a retired friend who often likes to offer to take travelers site seeing by bus. Just an added bonus if you like guidance around town.
