    Description

    We are a family with 2 young children living in a beautiful quiet little town called Cobble Hill in British Columbia. We are a 40 minute drive to Victoria and 15 minute drive to Duncan. We are within a 10 minute drive from the ocean, Shawnigan Lake and Kokisilah River. We are also a 10 minute walk from the village and the local pub and a 5 minute walk from Alpine stables. There are many beautiful areas to walk, hike, bike and explore. We are also very close to several amazing wineries.

    Your accommodations are located in our basement. There is a private bedroom with a queen sized bed, as well as your own living room area with a couch and large screen tv. There is a 2 piece bathroom on the main floor and a full bathroom with tub and shower on the upstairs level for you to use.

    Help

    We are looking for a female to help with our two children ages 4 and 21 months. We will also need some help with cleaning (specifically bathrooms, floors, baseboards, windows, etc), cooking and gardening.

    We will be going to Oosoyos in July and are hoping to bring someone with us to help with the kids and cook some meals. We will be staying at Spirit Ridge () in a two bedroom villa. There are two pools, Nk’Mip winery on site, and the beach is a 10 minute walk away as well as Adega winery.
    You will be sharing a room with our 4 year old daughter. You will each have your own queen beds. Your travel there and back will be covered as well as your meals, of course:)

    We may also get you to help out my Mom with some cleaning and gardening at her house in Duncan a couple of days while you are with us. You will still be staying with us though, I will just drive you in and back:)
