Help
You Will need to be healthy and able to do general tasks. Nothing back breaking but will need to be able to weed and put a shovel in the ground. We have chickens and four cats and a dog and will need help with them so if your deathly afraid of animals this might not be for you. Would be a bonus if you are up to solve problems and make solutions on the go, as on the acreage there is always a new project that will need brainstorming.
Being flexible would be a great skill as we are always on the go and doing new things! We also have 5 kids!!! So being up for some silliness from time to time is a must : )
We love sports!!!

Accommodation
An rv trailer with a bedroom, bathroom, closet and tv. It will be a quiet little place of your own to relax. It is a warm and cozy.
We will happily welcome our guest to join us for meals and also understand if they choose not too! We are pretty easy in that regard.
What else ...
Okotoks is a town of about 300000. Our property backs onto the sheep river where there is bike paths, fishing, river floats, and loads of wildlife. We are also a 5 minute walk to downtown okotoks where there are many shops and restaurants. It is about a 1.5 hour drive to the beautiful Rocky Mountains where you can enjoy skiing and many winter activities. And 20 minutes to the big city of Calgary which has endless options for entertainment and action.
