Words can't articulate how amazing having the opportunity to help Julie and her 3 sweet, creative, and adventurous kids (Alex, Cadence, and Jayden) for the last few weeks. This was my second workaway experience, but really I count it as my first that felt truly whole from communication, lifestyle, learning, and connection, each moment was special… read more and brought such joy. Though I am from Ontario, I noticed that each family within the same culture can be quite different, and having the chance to learn the family's traditions and BC lifestyle was so unique and cool - from sea shell collecting, finding crabs, THE OCEAN, to cooking and baking homemade recipes and storytelling, it really did bring joy to learning. I learned how to make homemade Italian pasta and tomato sauce by Jayden (the quirky, imaginative, and culinary artist younger brother) was such a delight being his sue chef! To learning grade 7 fractions by Cadence or sharing stories and baking pies together (the sweet, initiative taking, creative, middle sister) excellent teaching skills when she taught me fractions again lol! and combing problem solving in different ways when we noticed the different way Alex and Jayden solved equations compared to Cadence and I - it was learning, communication and problem solving in such a fun and corporative way! Sharing car stories as Alex (the athletic, witty, and kind older brother) who was successfully getting his next level driver's licence. Having education conversations with Julie and learning more about business from requirements to stories of how operations work in a school setting- this experience came at a time where I felt my value was appreciated, encouraged, and honored. For the activities I did and how my day went, the only difference was my start time in the morning was later on their break ( their family was entering March break, so I had the chance to see both school and holiday routines). During school, I typically got up early to make breakfast - I loved cooking for their family, I made so many recipes both ones from my traditions to new dishes - and than worked on organizing drawers, cabinets, kids room, yard work such as racking up sticks, working on planting in the garden beds, making dinner, and helping keep the place tidy. I always enjoyed hanging out with the kids too - collecting sea shells, water balloons, baking/cooking, trampoline challenge. Julie is such a kind, excellent communicator, laid back, caring person, if I had any questions or suggestions she was happy to help me better understand or clarify. My day was flexible in how and when I wanted to do the work and my approach for doing the tasks - if I needed a break I was able to take one, and there was always time to get tasks done or continue the next day. She also allowed me the chance to take on a leadership role- where she trusted my decisions, taste, and ideas to implement what I thought would be best. This experience grew my confidence in so many ways from connecting with the kids to putting my ideas in action, it was so cool to watch myself grow into who I want to become - though it was only simple household helping, it had such value for me, it gave me the chance to have time for breakthrus to emerge for my art business and school idea to come thru, recognizing different views in the process, and having quality connected storytelling with her whole family. I absolutely loved getting to know everyone and truly their beautiful island and will continue to stay in touch - this whole experience summed up what I have been working towards and for - bringing joy back to life and learning by aligning values with passion, purpose and connection. I would recommend this workaway to anyone who is interested in being 2 min from the ocean, in a charming outskirt rural but town area, with a charming cabin of your own while having the opportunity to help with household tasks, for a delightful, sweet, and storyfilled family - it was truly a honor to have this opportunity.

(Excellent)
