  Description

  Hi!
  
  We are a family of three, Jan and Isabe, our newborn Lucas and Silva, our cat.
  We live in Craigmore, a small village in Cape Breton, the beautiful island on the East Coast of Canada.
  
  Last year, we bought a small property and our plan is to build on it, we are not sure if this can happen this or next year. Jan was born in Cape Breton with dutch parents and spent all his teenager years in Holland and Isabe is from Austria and speaks german fluently. At home we speak dutch.
  Jan works as a head chef at a local restaurant in Port Hood, and Isabe is a music teacher, currently at home with the baby.
  With him spending most of his time in Port Hood, I am alone with the E-Bike Rental and with the new baby I will be happy to have some company and some helping hands!
  In my free time I love driving around and sharing the beautiful parts of the island with my friends.
  
  I love to meet new people from other cultures, discover new languages and sharing what we have here with others!
  Life in Cape Breton is very easy going and peaceful.

  Aide

  I would love some help in the household and some company, while Jan is in Port Hood working.
  We would also like to start building a vegetable garden and a small greenhouse.
  Even if you are not experienced we could manage to build it and mainly have fun while doing it!

  Hébergement

  We live in a small appartement (1 bedroom), you would sleep on the sofabed in the living room-kitchen. Jan will stay most of the summer in Port Hood, where he works.
  Bedding is here of course.
  It is not very private, but during the day when I am at my work place you'll have the apartment to yourself.
  Or if the weather permits it you could set up tent on our property.
  We have a nice tent and sleeping bags and everything you would need for camping.
  
  Food will be provided!
  I always enjoy sharing my meals with others, I love cooking, if you do too, we can share the cooking, otherwise I will provide.
  You could use our kitchen, you can cook if you like, we would dine together.
  I'm vegetarian.
