Help around the house and enjoy the Okotoks, Canada

  Descripción

  Hi! I have recently downsized and could really use some help with a few organizational and maintenance projects.
  
  
  I live in the town of Okotoks, which is about a 20 minute drive to Calgary, a 30 minute drive to mountain hiking trails and about an hour and a half away from Banff. Okotoks has a lovely downtown area with many original boutique and funky stores. Great restaurants and beautiful walking trails that connect the whole town. A river runs through the centre of town and is great for a kayak adventure or nice to walk along.
  
  Calgary is a thriving metropolis with tons of things to do and see.
  
  I have a chihuahua, who loves company.
  
  I would enjoy cooking and sharing dinners together on days you are working. I will provide breakfast foods, cereal, yogurt, toast, eggs, fruit, coffee, tea etc. , although, you are responsible for preparing your own breakfast. Lunch will be soup, chilli, leftovers, or sandwiches. Sometimes I will prepare lunch, other times you are on your own. Breakfast and lunch is provided daily, with sandwich fixings available for days off excursions.
  
  Evening meals are provided on working days. Days off, you are responsible for your own dinners, although you are welcome to leftovers or sandwiches etc.
  
  If you are willing to commit a few extra hours a week...absolute minimum of 25 hours, never more than 30, I have a small car that you can use anytime during your stay. Great for full day excursions or evening get aways. Having a car during your stay is extremely beneficial as there is a lot to see in the surrounding area, but, transportation is an issue. Canada is limited in bus or train service outside major city limits.
  
  In order to give you ample time to explore the beautiful Canadian Rocky Mountains and everything else the area has to offer. I am open to working longer days, with more full days off, if you prefer.

  I'm a fairly handy kind of girl, however, I think we would both benefit from sharing our skills. Evenings you are welcome to explore the town and area. If you stay in, I'm open to some backgammon and/or ukelele playing I have 3 and could teach you basics. Also, nights are cooling down, we could enjoy an outdoor fire.

  My "to do" list is varied. Ideally, you have varied skills. My garage is a disaster! I need someone with a few muscles and strong organization skills. I am gradually getting my garage in order. Each set of workaways get me a little closer, although so far, they mostly move piles of things to be sorted from one side of the garage to the other...only to be moved back with next workawayer 's arrival. Also...things just get stuffed in boxes and shelved...leaving me with the organizing. This time around, I want help with sorting, selling, chucking and organizing. I will work with you to finally accomplish this task properly.
  
  From now until fall, general garden weeding and weekly grass cut. In the fall,I need a couple of garden beds to be cleared out and put to bed and help with some light canning in the fall.
  Lots of fresh veggies in my garden come fall.
  
  Inside my house, i could use help organizing, as well as a deep spring/fall cleaning including windows. I want to build a wall unit entertainment center with a built in electric fireplace. Nothing too fancy.
  
  I could use help with laptop set up.
  
  Also, I may ask you to house/dog sit if I want to go away for a few days.

  Alojamiento

  If you stay in my guest room either a single or king bed. You will have the main washroom nearby and lots of privacy.
  
  Depending on weather and timing, if my little holiday trailer is available, you could stay there. Fun and private.

  I would suggest that you do lots of research on the area so you know what you would like to do and see during your visit. The area has so much to offer that i could never list everything here. I will help out when I can, but, you will have lots of free time to explore. Although I may join you on an occasional outing, I am far from a tour guide. I am quite used to my privacy, so, don't ever feel like you have to "keep me company". I enjoy seeing travellers get out and experience the area in the evenings or on days off. Having use of the car really helps with that!
