We are looking share our home and life with new friends. We ran our home as a bed and breakfast for 7 years prior to the pandemic. We welcomed people from all over the world, and we are so grateful they came into our lives and we had the pleasure to share our stories and cultures. We would like to welcome guests in our home once again but we have chosen to do it this way.
We live about 35 minutes from Niagara falls in a rural area away from the city and 45 minutes from Niagara on the Lake, which is one of the major wine regions in the area.
We have a 5 bedroom home, with both parents working, and 2 very active 6 year old twin girls. They are in 1st grade and are in school most of the day so you will have very little interaction with them. They're quite independent, but are very social and outgoing, and greatly enjoy interacting as much as possible with our workaway guests when they have the time.
We are currently looking for assistance with general cleaning, and organizing things around the house, and some carpentry work in the basement with woodworking trim would be amazing as well.
