Help with my children and enjoy life on a ranch in Alberta, Canada

  Description

  My name is Haylie, and I am the general manager of a ranch and mother of two children, both daughters, that are 5 and 2 years old. Due to my busy schedule during the days with my commitment to my career, and my husbands commitment to his, I need someone who can regularly care for my children and keep them busy during the day! My older daughter is going to kindergarten so will only need to be watched one to two days a week so most of the time will be with my 2.5 year old.
  
  Although I myself may not have time to spend with the workawayer while I am at my job, I understand the importance of learning through the cultural exchange, which will be available primarily through the integration of the workawayer as a member of the Ranch. I myself will not be sharing much of the time with the kids with the workawayer, typically interaction will occur before and after this help.
  
  The workawayer will quickly feel at home here as they are introduced to other staff on the ranch, allowing for the opportunity to strengthen their English speaking ability, learn new skills as well as share their own language and experiences with others here, alike. By hosting a workawayer, I hope myself and my children can learn about the workawayer culture and language just as much as we hope to share ours!

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  During their stay the workawayer will have the chance to see a Canadian Dude Ranch and meet a diverse group of individuals working here. While mostly Canadian, we do have staff from various parts of the world, such as Australia. We are also in the Canadian Rockies with chances to hike, canoe, white water raft and horseback ride. The Ranch is a family owned and operated business and everyone working at the ranch becomes part of the family. We value the diversity and what they can bring to life at the Ranch, learning from them as much as we teach. Everyone here becomes part of the team and we all work together in our individual roles to make it work. Hosting visitors from around the world gives everyone a chance to learn from other cultures and strengthens the team.
