Descripción
Are you looking to experience some of Canada's most stunning nature, living on an acreage with a wonderful family?
We are excited to host a single person or couple on our acreage on the Sunshine Coast, BC, Canada.
Just an 1.5 hour commute to downtown Vancouver, we are surrounded by beautiful hiking and mountain bike trails, beautiful beaches, where you can use our family's kayak and paddleboards! We also just live a 5 minute walk away from our local cidery which offers home brewed apple cider, kombucha and a whole menu of eats and treats!
We are a family of 4, Shannen, Jesse, Cillian (5) and Haydn (2).
We are looking for:
- General yard clean up, gardening and labour
- Babysitting in summer months (July, August)
- Cooking beautiful meals (we are mostly plant-based)
- Organizing, and basic help around the house
* Construction and handyman skills would be a huge asset!
To let you know a little about us:
- Shannen is an international development professional and runs a non-profit in Ghana, West Africa that focuses on empowering young female leaders. She speaks English, French and Spanish. She loves learning about new cultures, connecting with people from all kind of backgrounds, cultures and ages. She loves positive energy in the home, good food and music. She is passionate about social and environmental justice and deeply passionate about climate change and protecting biodiversity.
- Jesse is a passionate about design and minimalism. He loves to cook, rock climb, and surf. He is a generalist with a ton of practical skills, but unfortunately his functionality is currently constrained due to health challenges. He is interested in politics, psychology, photography and is an avid reader. He worked and lived with Shannen in Ghana for years, and has also loves traveling and meeting people from different places.
- Cillian (5) and Haydn (3) are best friends and love spending their time reading, playing at the beach, and discovering insects and animals.
