    Description

    We are looking for someone to help around the house! We need help organizing the house, creating and making meals, playing with the children, driving the children to activities, as well as help at our two businesses (a yoga studio and a massage therapy/physiotherapy clinic).

    I am a teacher and my husband owns his own business as a Registered Massage Therapists. Our children are 14, 12, 10, and 8. We have a 3 year old chocolat lab and 3 cats. We live in a lovely family-friendly neighbourhood. If you are here in the summer we have a pool and a lovely backyard to enjoy. We live right on a walking and biking trail. In the winter there is sliding and skating and snow fun!!

    Kingston is located on Lake Ontario and in the middle between Ottawa and Toronto with train and bus service to both mAAjor cities.

    Kingston is an amazing city to visit!!

Kingston is a city full of history and is very beautiful!! There are many bilingual (English and French) families in our city - including us!

    As a workaway, you will be a part of our family and will be welcome to join us in all of ourfamily activities! We will teach you what it is like to live in eastern Ontario, Canada. We will teach you about our food and our culture. And we would hope to learn about your culture as well!
