  Description

  **Update January 2023 - possible need August or September 2024 for longer period if possible**
  
  We are non-smokers and prefer non-smokers.
  
  We are a small family of 3 girls... Mum, daughter and little schnauzer. We live in Vancouver and have wonderful neighbours. My daughter is 12 years old, and is in school and activities. I work shifts - usually 3-4 per week. We are an active family and enjoy the outdoors. Preference given to French and German speakers as my daughter is being brought up bilingual.

  Aide

  I am a single mother looking for a helper in the near future. I have an 11 year old girl and a little dog. General help around the house plus childcare while I am at work (shifts, 2-4 per week, various hours) is wanted, plus loving our dog and keeping her watered and fed and walked.
  
  Some cooking is required, dishes, tidying, help with laundry for my daughter. One Female only please. Plenty of free time. Bonus points if you speak German as I am trying to teach my child german (not my mother tongue). Double bonus if you speak German and French!

  Hébergement

  Private room in our house with separate bathroom (could be shared with another). Shared living space with the family, access to bicycle, close to transit.

  Autres infos...

  We are in the city of Vancouver so everything the city has to offer is within reach with public transit. We have had German aupairs living with us for 10 years and enjoy the company of travellers. There is varied time off because of my shifts - sometimes days during the week, sometimes weekends, every week is different. There are 2 community centres within 15 minute walk of us with ice rink, library, pool and fitness rooms. Lots of cafes and shops a block away on the commercial drive we live near.
