Descripción
Father is working full time (widowed) and needs help around the house and garden.
Mostly cleaning and organizing projects in the house, but also good to get some things done in the yard. If the person is handy, there are some small maintenance projects I would love help with.
Children info (child care not expected), but could assist with them when the parent is at home.
11-year-old girl – quiet, clever, loves craft/art/math and dance
8-year-old boy – gentle, funny, flexible – loves bike riding, remote control cars, building things, and Lego
6-year-old girl – lots of energy, can be loud, caring - loves stuffy toys, beading/crafting, puzzles, painting, helping in the kitchen, and riding her bike.

Cultural Exchange
The family has Irish, Canadian, and Japanese heritage. You will benefit from cultural exchange experiences involving these cultures, cuisine, and language. We also have lots of books on nature, gardening, permaculture, mushrooms, and cooking. There is a lot to explore. You will also learn more about permaculture gardening and can add your creative touch to the evolving landscape of the property.
You will be made to feel part of the family, working together in the garden/household, playing together, and sharing meals. We look forward to spending time with you.

A private camping spot with access to an indoor bathroom. You would eat dinner with the family most days, and take care of cooking your own needs for the other meals.
For breakfast, everyone generally fends for themselves. During the summer, we all eat lunch together as a family. We have dinner together as a family, at home, most days of the week.
We would love to share this meal with you. When sharing a meal together is not possible, food ingredients will be provided for you to make your own meal.
