Description
✨ **Meet Our Joyful Chaos** ✨
Two dads (one American, one Chinese), twin, 8-year-old biracial half sisters bursting with curiosity, and the breathtaking beauty of Niagara Falls as our backyard. Together, we’re a vibrant blend of cultures, laughter, and adventure, soaking up every sunlit moment of this wild, wonderful life.
Join us as we navigate parenting, and the magic of raising fierce, funny little humans in a world as diverse as they are. 🥟🍁💖 -

**WHO WE ARE:**
We’re a lively, open-hearted family of four (plus a 5 decades of hospitality experience!) nestled in rural Ontario, 30 minutes from Niagara Falls and 45 minutes from Niagara-on-the-Lake’s vineyards. After running a B&B for 7 years pre-pandemic, we’re excited to welcome travelers again—this time through cultural exchange. This will be out 5th year on Workaway !
**OUR HOME:**
A spacious 6-bedroom house surrounded by gardens and trees, offering peace, fresh air, and starlit nights. You’ll have a private room and access to shared spaces. *Note:* We’re in the countryside—quiet and serene, but a car/bike is ideal for exploring. Unfortunately, there is no public transportation.
**WHO’S HERE:**
- **Us**: Two working parents who love storytelling, video games, DIY projects, sharing meals, and great conversations.
- **The Girls**: Independent 8-year-old biracial half-sister twins! They’re in school/activities most days, so there is limited interaction due to school and extracurricular activities, but they do adore saying “hello” and learning about new cultures.
**HELP NEEDED**
- **🌷 Spring/Summer season 2026, We are looking for help weeding in the landscaping, as well as assistance with planting the vegetable garden, and help keeping it maintained. We have a large yard and throughout the summer there's always something that needs done. We also just had the girls new craft room painted, and we could use some assistance with organizing that as well.
- **Always**: Enthusiasm for small daily tasks (meal prep, tidying) is appreciated!
**WE OFFER:**
- **Your Own Room and private bathroom**: Quiet space to recharge with a queen size bed.
- **Shared Meals**: Home-cooked dinners. Non-vegetarian, pork and chicken are our main source of protein, with lots of vegetables mixed in. About 70% of our food tends to be traditional Chinese, which is broth base or oil-based, and lots of vegetables, but very few of them are vegetarian, if that is a dietary concern.
- **Cultural Exchange**: Swap stories with a family that’s hosted guests from 20+ countries!
**WHY STAY WITH US?**
- **Location**: Hike Niagara Gorge, or unwind in nature—all within reach.
- **Learn**: Pick up gardening tips, DIY hacks, or parenting tricks (twins = endless stories!).
- **Belong**: Join a family that values curiosity, kindness, friendship, and laughter.
- **Explorer Niagara**: I'm happy to drop you off in the Niagara falls area and tell you about a variety of different things to explore, which you are welcome to do on your own. I will give you ample time to explore it, and then return and pick you up. -

**WHAT WE OFFER:**
- **🍽️ Meals**: 3 daily meals provided. Breakfast tends to be a continental breakfast, with cereal, fruit, or pastries. Lunch is usually a sandwich and soup or salad, and as for dinner, our dinners are about 70% traditional Chinese and include meat. Unfortunately I'm not able to guarantee vegetarian meals.
-**Monday-Friday** (home-cooked)
- **Weekends**: Saturdays/Sundays are family days—we’re often out exploring, so you may have to prepare your own meals which I'll provide, or adventure locally.
- **Flexible Exploration**: Borrow a bike, use our laundry, or unwind in your private space. -
