Descripción
We are a 6 person family (mom, dad, 4 girls (13, 11, 10 and 8 years) and currently with two 8 year old border collie dogs and chickens. We like to be home as much as possible, yet our extended family lives out-of-town so we travel enough to visit them all (Timmins, Ottawa, Manitoba). We have done and enjoy travels ourselves (father has worked overseas previously, mother has done an exchange herself). We are outdoors people who enjoy activities (we have lots of equipment for skiing, biking, snow shoeing, canoeing, pedal boat, kayak, horseshoe pit, etc.). T.V. time is reserved for when the kids are gone to bed (7:30pm). We have a new family business, which takes up lots of our time this year, so mom is required to work. We are kept very busy with our business/career and kids, yet like to enjoy new experiences. We have a focus on balancing health, the environment (we recycle and compost), fun and treats - or at least try. Please no smokers, as we don’t smoke ourselves, or smokers have to do their thing outside in all weather and away from little eyes.
We follow two diets: meat-atarian and vegetarian.
We live in a all-seasons Northern community city surrounded by Nature, lakes, bike trails. We have a river on our property, a bus route in walking distance, and a bike trail as well. We have all four seasons and plenty of activities for each season.Toronto is 3.5 hours away south, Ottawa 4 hours away east, Sudbury 1.75 hours west, and New Liskeard is 2 hours and Timmins 4 hours away north.We have a 6-acre lot and 1 acre is cleared with lawn.
A bus stop is located on our road, less than 1 kilometre walk. The long distance/Ontario Northland bus is located downtown about 7km away. The train has discontinued service, but is available in other communities close to here. We have an airport with 15 km from our house.

Ayuda
We are looking for help in a general sense. If you are more of a handyman, then help with the local business is the trade for you, or house renos. We do renewable resources in the area (ex. solar systems, wind turbine, water turbine, etc.). If you are a homebody, then indoor or outdoor work on our property could fill your working void. If you are more familiar with housework, then cleaning duties are abundant. If you are a nurturer, then caring for our four babes could take some of your time
depending on season:
-flower gardens need tending
-sauna needs to be re-roofed with tin
-cement work needs to be done
-garage door needs to be painted
-steel garage needs to be siliconed at the base
-grass cut with tractor
-driveway snowblowed
-house chores (clean bathroom, kitchen, vacuum, laundry)
-cooking and baking
-childcare (depending on experience and references)
-structural building (warehouse shelving installation)
-stonework on the fireplace
-reno on the bathroom
-handyman work
-firewood cutting and pilling
-window cleaning (inside and out)
-spring cleaning of every room
-etc.

Alojamiento
We have a three-bedroom home with an office, fitness room, 2 bathrooms, living room, and open kitchen dining room, family room with piano and laundry facility (all are shared except for the office space as it is the business office). We have a horseshoe pit, outside fire pit, sauna, volleyball court, hammock, canoe, kayak, pedal bikes and bike trailer (for the kids).
The available room has a small walk-in closet. It is upstairs on the main floor. There is a dresser in it and a t.v. /d.v.d. player, with two night tables.
*️If that is taken, a futon is downstairs in the recroom, or pop-up camper or tent is available during hot summer months.*️
Algo más...
Don't be shy is our motto, if you don't ask you will never know. Also, any beefs you may have are valid because it is your perspective, so please let us know how we can help resolve any issues that may arise.

Here is a short list: Lake Nipissing Commanda Cruise, seasonal sports (downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, skating, biking, canoeing, swimming, soccer team, golfing, volley-ball, basketball, etc), recreational sports at the local university and college, music lessons with local business, camping and outdoor fun(special annual festivals - maple syrup festival, Heritage festival, Music festival), community sports centre and swimming pool, cinema, theatre, nightclubs/restaurants of different ethnicities/bars, Multicultural centre, etc.

the girls loved having their new friend molly around, and still ask about her. she left her beach ball, so she comes up in topic quite a bit.
have fun in your journey.
The girls ask: where are our "amies"? I have caught them everyday sleeping in your bed.
The girls ate the last of the carrots today. I noticed when we returned from my parents.
Thanks a bunch.
Our work consisted of taking care of the three little girls during the day. The kids are so cute especially when they mix up their two languages (French and English) and we had lots of fun playing with them!
