    Description

    Hello travellers!
    I am a single mom of two kids (11,13) living in down town Ottawa. I am looking to exchange room and board with a fun, independent, caring person who can help cook, clean and maybe get kids to school, and camp in the summer.
    We have a private room available in the attic!
    We live in a great part of Ottawa, and hoping you can drive a manual vehicle!
