    Description

    I have lived in this little village for 30years . Over the past few years, my health has begun to deteriorate, and I recently had Spine Surgery. I could accommodate one person with some gardening skills , or a couple. I would welcome someone with a dog, as my dog is very lonely, and would love a playmate!
    I recently had some yardwork done, and there is still a lot of the yard to '' get in shape". I did have chickens, but the skunks took all I had, so it is just me, my 2 house cats and my dog.
    I am able to accommodate vegan/vegetarian meals if that BE THE CASE.
    This spring and summer are the time when I am able to do a lot of work, with help, and as I have lived all over N. America have lots of adventures to share. This property backs on to the mountain, great for hiking! and a nearby 90 mile long lake is wonderful for water activities, as well!
    Thank You for taking the time to read this, and I look forward to your help as soon as you are able.

    Help

    I am a senior that has lived alone, and now find myself in need of assistance with some help for things aren't as easy as they were. I live in a wee village at the edge of a forest on a 90 mile long lake in the SE area of BC. This is a Tourist area, and lots of " work for pay' jobs are also available as well as help for exchange for accommodation in the Summer season. I have had great difficulty getting someone to come, as I live in a village that is rather remote, however there is traffic, .My needs are minimal, just need someone that I can RELY UPON, as my health is not good , having recently had Spine Surgery. so allot I am restricted to do.
