We are looking for somebody now to come join us starting October of 2020.
We're a young family of 4 with an energetic 8 yo boy and a charming 5 yo girl. I, Alex, am a tech worker and an artist and my wife works in housing. We live in a lovely house in a pretty, quiet neighbourhood with easy access to the City and nature. We spend our weekends getting outside with friends in a park or going on camping trips, although I guess we'll see how much friend time we get with covid social distancing this year!
My sister has been a member of Workaway for a while and said it's been a really positive experience for her. Maybe you've stayed with her in Duncan?

We're a pretty average young family so you'd get a view in to what typical Canadians live like. We live in Pemberton Heights in North Vancouver, which is mainly residences with some dense shops along Marine Drive. It's my favourite part of North Van as it has really easy access to shops, restaurants and breweries, but with equally easy access to beautiful trails where you can get lost in nature. We're also avid campers and would take you along on camping trips in the summer. We also ski and cycle, and we'd invite you to share these activities with us.
Taking our kids around the city you'd get the opportunity to explore many cultural sites, including parks, galleries, local neighbourhoods and natural areas, depending on what's open this summer with covid. Either way, it will be a great way to get our and explore the city.
We are struggling with whether to send the kids back to school or not. If the kids are home, we're looking for someone to help them with their home schooling and take them on adventures around the neighbourhood (lots of nature around here). If the kids are in school, help will be with cleaning around the house and helping with dinner prep.

Private bedroom, double bed, wifi. Food will be provided. We may not always be available to prepare food (i.e. for breakfasts or lunches, bit you'll be able to help yourself and of course you'll be able to join us for meals we prepare).
We live in North Vancouver (Pemberton Heights) close to Marine Drive (easy access to shops and restaurants). We have a lot of transit options available to downtown Vancouver, with easy access to the North Shore mountains. All the amenity you need are very close by, and most within walking distance. We live near bike routes and we are avid cyclists.
Time off could easily be spent biking around the city and taking in cultural sites, exploring the North Shore's many hiking trails or relaxing in a forest, taking a walking tour of the over many micro-breweries close to our neighborhood, relaxing with a book in our garden or a nearby park. We are also close to a community centers that have gyms, pools and ice rinks.
We have had a few Workaways stay with us and have had very positive experiences.
With two young kids there is always a lot going on in our house during the day, but in the evenings we tend to be quiet and relax. We're pretty tidy people and we hope that those who stay with us are also help keep the place tidy.
We eat vegetarian in our house, but we're not all vegetarians. Also, we have a cute black cat that likes to sit on your lap.
Ideally we'd like workaways to stay with us for a few months up to a year, but we're pretty flexible.
