Description
We are a family of 4 in Vancouver. We live in east Vancouver by trout lake and commercial drive in a 4 bedroom house with veggie gardens and a large sunny outdoor deck. Our neighbourhood is walkable and the rest of Vancouver is easily accessible by public transit.
Our son is 5 and in kindergarten- he's quite chatty and social and is very into science experiments, drawing and exploring nature. Our daughter is 3 and is a bit quieter but extremely loving and quite funny when she warms up to you- she loves dancing and singing at the top of her lungs. We try to play outside as much as possible and make the most of beautiful Vancouver!
Kate is a family doctor who sometimes has odd hours (nights and weekends) and Mike is a lawyer.

Vancouver is an amazing vibrant city with easy access to the outdoors.
We'd love to host someone who wants to join in on the fun and day to day workings of our family while having loads of time to explore this amazing city. Bonus if you speak French as we are hoping to expose our kids to more French! We are happy to practice your english with you and show you around our amazing city.
Help
Hoping for someone to join in on the fun with our little family- our kids are in fulltime school/daycare but I often work odd hours so we really just need extra hands for some evenings for dinner/bedtime and morning before school with a bit of help on the weekends here and there.
