Description
We are a small family looking to welcome a couple into our home through Workaway. If you love living in nature, enjoy hiking, cooking healthy food, gardening, and playing with children and dogs, this might be the perfect fit for you!
About Us:
We are a family of four: myself, my husband, our 3.5-year-old daughter, and our 5-year-old Bernese Mountain cross Australian Shepherd dog. Our home is a spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom house on a half-acre of land. We have a two-level backyard, a huge deck, and a fire pit. Our home is located right beside a Provincial Park with an old-growth forest and is just a 5-minute walk from the beach.
We own a small plumbing company with locations in Vancouver, Bowen Island, and on the Sunshine Coast. My husband works out of the home Monday to Friday, while I work from our home. We believe in alignment with our desires, practicing appreciation and gratitude, and striving for excellence in everything we do. We love to share our experiences and the knowledge we've gained about this way of living.
Location:
Our home is situated in the beautiful Madeira Park on the Sunshine Coast of B.C. We are surrounded by stunning old-growth forests and are just a short walk from the ocean. The town center is a 5-minute drive away, and there are many fresh water lakes nearby for swimming.

What We Expect:
-A couple who enjoys nature, hiking, and a home-in-the-woods lifestyle
-Willingness to help with gardening, cooking, and playing with our daughter and dog
-A positive attitude and a desire to be a part of our busy and full lives
Additional Information:

Help
We have a busy household to maintain, we need releif on the daily duties of running a home. We need help with daily cooking healthy lunch and dinner. We need help with daily household cleaning, gardening in the summer (we grow our own vegetables and watering and have weeding), walking the dog, and holding playing with our toddler.
We are looking to attract a couple who are happy to lend us a hand, know how to cook and clean without instructions and help us have more time for business work. Being self starters and taking action without waiting to be asked is a must.
