Description
We are Nada, Dima, and Daniel, a family of three from Quebec who love meeting new people, trying new things, and lending a hand wherever we can.
We use Workaway to build memories together and to give our time where it's genuinely useful. Sometimes we travel as a family of three; sometimes it's just Daniel and me for a shorter stay.
Nada (that's me, 39): I'm hands-on and curious. I like working with my hands, figuring things out, and showing up fully wherever I am. I've done Workaway before and I know what a real exchange feels like. I speak French, English and learning Spanish, I drive, and I don't shy away from hard work or new challenges.
Dima is my partner. her passion is creating meals, so feeding a household is genuinely her comfort zone. She cooks from scratch, all kinds of cuisines, and brings real warmth to any kitchen she's in. Beyond cooking, she's hands-on with gardening, animal care, and general housekeeping. She adapts easily and works hard.
Daniel is our son, two and a half years old. He's been travelling since he was tiny, so new places and new faces are just his normal. He's curious, funny, helpful in his own way, and sociable enough to become part of the household within hours.
About travelling with a toddler: we know it's a fair question for hosts, so here's how it works. Daniel is an independent little boy who genuinely loves to help. At school he spends a lot of time outdoors, and he's already planted and tended a garden, kneaded and baked bread, and helped with everyday tasks like sweeping and setting the table. He adores animals and is gentle with them. When we're both there, we take turns so one of us is always fully available to help. When it's just Daniel and me, I choose tasks he can join in or stay close to, like cooking, gardening or feeding animals, and I'm upfront about the hours I can realistically offer. We always talk it through before arriving.
We're drawn to farms, homesteads, family homes and small local projects, anywhere we can roll up our sleeves, learn something, and share daily life. Not to observe, but to participate.
We're easy to live with, we clean up after ourselves, and we bring good energy to the table (sometimes literally). -

More details about your skills
I've lived and worked on a farm for two months — building bamboo fences, planting trees, and caring for animals including horses and chickens. That experience didn't just teach me skills, it confirmed the life I want to build. I'm comfortable with physical work, I follow through, and I show up ready. New tasks don't intimidate me — I've learned that a first time at everything is just part of the process.

What else ...
We are not looking for a transaction. We're looking for a real exchange — shared meals, conversations at the end of the day, learning from people who have already made the leap we're about to make. We bring ourselves fully, and we leave a place better than we found it. If you have kids, Daniel will fit right in. If you have animals, we'll take care of them like our own. We're the kind of guests that feel like family by day three.
