    Description

    Hello, my husband and I are both retired teachers. My husband taught highschool and I taught in the elementary school. We Iive in Lantzville , British Columbia on a property of 2.4 acres. That property has been divided into four lots . My son, his wife and three children, my daughter with her husband and two girls, another daughter and her husband and two young girls and my husband and I all live on the property.
    We share a garden with berries and veggies along with chickens and bees. We live about 100 steps from the ocean where swimming, paddle boarding , canoeing and walking takes place. We love being outdoors riding bikes, hiking and playing sports.
    We would love to host in the summer, a person who loves to be active in the outdoors and enjoys working in a gardens and a small greenhouse.
    We live close to Nanaimo which is much bigger than our small community and it is easily accessed by bus.
    We would love help with the planting, growing, weeding and picking of the garden in exchange for room and board along with experiencing a large family as well as explore both water and land recreation activities.
    We would hope that the person applying is a good worker, personable, enjoys children and is adventurous and wants to explore our area of Vancouver Island.

    Other things that may be possible on time off my include travelling to Victoria ( capital city on British Columbia) , visiting our summer place on Piers Island, exploring by boat the area around our house, cycling, kayaking and paddle boarding in the ocean just 100 steps away from our house. The water in the summer is warm when the tide is coming in over the hot sand and rocks which is wonderful for swimming.
    We look forward to hosting a person in exchange for help with our family garden and yard work.
