  Description

  Family life here! My partner and I are in our mid 30s and parents to two young kids. One three year old and a baby. We make our home in the beautiful small town of Lillooet in unceded St'at'imc nation territory (in British Columbia). This gorgeous setting is the transition landscape between the wet coastal mountains and the drier rugged interior. We live on 1 acre in the town, flanked by stunning mountains on all sides and the mighty Fraser River running through, which is the largest undamned salmon bearing river in North America. Our town is also adjacent to Seton Lake which is a large lake with a beautiful swimming beach.
  
  We have a big garden and some fruit trees that we prepare meals with and do some canning and preserving. At the moment a lot of our time is consumed by our young kids, but generally when we are not working in the garden, at the playground with our kids, or drinking coffee at the local bakery, we try and go hiking, camping, and swimming at local lakes. We are both on parental leave at the moment, so not working full-time, but we keep busy with kids, family, friends, and hobbies.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  If you like rugged mountainous rural and wilderness environments Lillooet is the place for you! We would be happy to take you to our favourite swimming spots and mountain hikes. Both of us have spent years growing up, working, hiking, and camping in the mountains surrounding town. They are full of deer, moose, bears, cougars, and numerous species of birds and plants. We would encourage you to also explore these areas on your own time, We will be happy to point you in the right direction.
  
  We are also very excited to learn about you and your home. We both have done some international travel. Europe and Latin America mostly. My partner is very interested in current events and social and political affairs, so if that's interesting to you than you may be in luck haha. Both of us hope to learn Spanish one day. So, if you speak Spanish we would encourage you to share that with our oldest daughter.

  Aide

  We are primarily looking for help with childcare for our two year old. She is a lot fun. She loves going to the local playground, eating strawberries in the garden, going hikes and walks, colouring, reading books and lots more. This would be a big help to free us up to work in the garden, around the yard, small building projects, remote work etc. We would also like some help around the house with general cleaning and tidying and some yard and garden work.

  Autres infos...

  Unfortunately there is no bus, train, or planes directly to our town. It's actually a small town. Our airport is tiny and is mostly used for drag racing haha. And thanks to North Americas terrible dependence on private cars, public transit is non-existent. So, you would have to drive or hitch hike here or we could come pick you up in one of the surrounding towns. Once you get here though you can walk and cycle from our place to downtown or to the beach for a swim very easily.
