Details

Description
A fun family of four; two parents, two young children from the coast of British Columbia; Sunshine Coast. We're looking for a male or female (18-28) interested in house/yard/ building projects around the home.
Firewood is always somethings that needs to be done. Watch and feed the dog and cat.
We are very busy in the summer with work and visitors, mostly out of town family and friends that come all over to visit our beautiful coastal town.

Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The Sunshine Coast is a very laid back place to visit; hiking trails, scuba diving, boating, down hill and cross country biking and small town shops with locally made items.
Help
Special building projects might include; help with painting to the new addition of our home. Ride on lawn mowing as our property is rather large. Planting trees and garden maintenance (My wife loves to have a nice garden in the summer but gets very busy with the kids) Helping keep the home tidy, help with grocery shopping and lunch or dinner preparation. Winter projects will be more inside home renovations.
Wood stacking and wood chopping is also on our list.

You can easily come along for shopping trips to buy your own additional food that may not be in the house to fill your cravings. The use of the kitchen is available to you when needed.
What else ...
Our home is on the sunshine coast about 10 minutes from the Local town. There is a bus but it doesn't come very often, timing your afternoon with either my schedule or my wife schedule to get in and out of town would be easiest. We go into town every day. So no worries.
