  • Description

    Description

    I’m a single, professional mom with two sons, ages 9 and 12. We like to laugh and have fun. Our home is currently quite chaotic, as I struggle to keep up with housework, my full time job, and the boys. I work from home, so a quiet atmosphere is crucial during the workday.

    The boys spend every second week with their dad, so there is plenty of time to explore the beautiful sights of BC’s lower mainland area.

    I need assistance keeping up the house, walking the dog, mowing the lawn, etc. If our guest was able to assist the boys with their studies, it would be an added bonus. Both of my sons are neurodiverse, so someone open-minded, kind, and intuitive is a must.
