  Description

  I am a young human rights lawyer and I live with my beloved pooch, Poppy the Pomeranian, in a charming old fixer-upper house in a small seaside town in northern New Brunswick.
  
  I love northern New Brunswick because it feels like home. I love the fresh, salty Atlantic air; the beaches; the fresh seafood; the beautiful trails; the friendly east Coast hospitality; the ability to speak either English or French anywhere I go; the slower pace of life. This is the authentic maritimes.
  
  I am currently going through the approval process to become a foster parent, but in the meantime there is a lot of work that needs to be done at my house to prepare for fostering. My house has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, lots of character, and lots of space to foster - and, in the meantime, to host workawayers!

  Aide

  I would love help with fixing up this old house. I need support with tasks like: interior painting; exterior painting; gardening; some light demo (removing old peeling linoleum floors); some woodworking (adding bannisters to exterior stairs).
  
  I have all the tools/materials and I am happy to teach these skills along the way if they are new to my workawayer(s). Many hands make for light work!
  
  I am also happy to accept help with pet care (little Poppy the pom loves playing with new friends); cooking/meal prep; tidying/etc.

  Hébergement

  I have two (2) guest bedrooms available. Both rooms have locking doorknobs are are totally furnished, and I have all the bedding etc.
  1. The first guest bedroom is on the main floor off of the kitchen. It is a large room with an exposed closet, a dresser, nightstand and double bed. There is a bathroom down the hall with a shower, that could be for your exclusive use.
  2. The second guest bedroom is upstairs, next to my bedroom. It has a twin bed, dresser, desk, and a small closet. You could use the bathroom downstairs (with a shower), or share the upstairs bathroom with me (it has a bath).
  
  New washer and dryer in the basement.
  
  On the main floor there is also the kitchen, the living room, my office, and a large sunroom.
  
  For meals - personally I joke that "I don't cook/I don't clean" (haha) so I eat a lot of frozen and prepared meals.... I am happy to purchase whatever groceries you want, especially if you don't mind cooking for us!! My kitchen is pretty well equipped (air fryer, rice cooker etc).

  Autres infos...

  I work from home during the day and can't be disturbed when on calls/etc. I am an extraverted introvert, in that I like to socialize but I need my alone time.
  
  I have a little SUV and I can do pickups/drop offs from airport (Bathurst or Moncton) or Via Rail train station (Bathurst). There are cabs in town.
  
  If you like seafood- you will love the maritimes
  
  Fun things to do on day trips include: Acadian village; kitesurfing lessons; go fishing; and more

  Possibilité d’accueillir les digital nomads

  I have an extra desk in my office with laptop riser, keyboard and mouse you can use (when I am not on calls etc). Also there is a little desk in the guest bedroom upstairs that would be perfect for a digital nomad

  Possibilité d'accueillir les animaux

  Any as long as they can get along with my Pomeranian. Remember that it's Poppy's home, so I need to prioritize her comfort
