    Description

    I live with my 8-year-old son in the Kitsilano neighbourhood of beautiful Vancouver. It's a great place to live - we are close to a variety of shops and services, some of the local beaches, and it's only a short bus ride into downtown Vancouver! I have lived in the neighbourhood for over a decade, and I would choose it again in a heartbeat.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Get a taste of West Coast life in the heart of Kitsilano, where we are close to beaches and parks while at the same time enjoying all the amenities that city life has to offer. I have been living in Canada for over a decade, but am originally from Vienna, Austria - you can practice your English, and pick up some German too if you want :)

    As a single mom who works full-time, I'm looking for someone who can help with everyday household chores (cooking, tidying, cleaning) as well as lend a hand with child care (mostly for occasional weeknights, as my son typically spends weekends at his dad's), and perhaps walk him to school in the mornings (it's a short walk of only 4 blocks). My son is a fun and loving little guy who has been diagnosed with ASD and ADHD a few years ago - patience is definitely a must-have.
    Females only please - sorry, guys.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We live in a 2-bedroom/2-bathroom condo; approx 80m2. You will have your own bedroom and your own bathroom with a shower. Please note that guests may also use your bathroom.
    There are no dietary restrictions or allergies in our household, however my son is very picky in the foods he will eat, so our diet is often fairly repetitive. When time permits, I enjoy cooking and trying out new recipes.
    Please note that if you want to consume alcohol, you will need to buy your own (based on financial circumstances rather than lifestyle!).
    Non-smoker preferred.

    What else ...

    We are usually early risers; on weekdays around 6-6:30am and even on weekends, our inner clock doesn't let us sleep much past 7:30am (on the occasional weekends when my son is home). There is WiFi available, but note that we don't have a TV.
