Description
Hi! We are Stef and Erica a married couple who have a daughter, Maya, who is two years old. We live on the beautiful Bowen Island, which is only a 20 minute ferry ride from West Vancouver. We also have a goldendoodle named Elsie.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Babysitting and creative play
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Bowen island is a unique place which is close to nature while also being close to a city. We’re lucky to be able to melt into the forest, and walk along the seashore. We’re happy to take you walks to see the ocean, and to talk about our careers in ecology and sustainability.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We are looking for a warm, calm and caring person who can provide care for Maya while we are working. The schedule is somewhat flexible, but would usually be later in the afternoon with Maya, and you would have the mornings to explore the island and pursue your projects. Maya likes to be active and explore the house and the outdoors. She picks flowers, pokes sticks and loves to show you everything she finds! One morning a week you can also go to the community centre with Maya where there is a drop in program for families with young children which has arts and toys to play with. We love supporting Maya with our calm presence and a safe base from which to explore, and we would love to teach her about different countries, different songs, and different games from other places in the world. We are looking for someone who can stay for at least 2 months, and preferably more.
