Description
I live on Vancouver Island, in Cherry Point. I have a separate bachelor cottage with washroom and kitchenette available for you to stay in. The ocean public beach access is about a 3 minute walk down my road. There are nature trails just across the street. Town of Cowichan Bay is 5 min drive away. I have three children, ages 10, 12 and 14 and they live at my house every other week. I am looking for help with the children, cooking, and general household duties. Also some cleaning of my suite between stays. Could include some teaching to the children after school and with their homework. Also include some outdoor yard work and gardening. You would be welcome to put your own ideas into what to garden and I would provide all the supplies and plants as you choose. I have hosted four workaway students in the past, and I can show you the excellent reviews our family received. I am a school teacher.

Aide
I would like help with the children when they are at my house every other week, mainly with cooking dinner on weekdays for me and them (only me every other week), and helping with homework every other week. I would like help with household duties and organization and cleaning of the 1 bedroom short term suite (often 1-2 times a month in the fall). Outdoor yard and gardening help. If you are handy I could have you build a shelf or do other handy work. I am looking for 4-5 hours of help 5 days a week on average. On weekends you’d provide your own food and can stay in the cabin or travel. On weekdays you’ll be able to do work in the main house and property, cook dinners with supplied food (I’m open to suggestions on what to buy).
