Beschreibung
My husband, Trevor; our 2 daughters Taylor (18) and Makenzie (16); and I (Carol) live in North Cowichan on Vancouver Island, Canada. Trevor has a self-loading logging truck business and I am a pastry chef. We have a large heritage private home on 6.5 acres in a rural setting where we raise sheep, and occasionally meat chickens.
We have 2 Great Danes, 2 indoor Oriental Shorthair cats and 1 rescue cat with an attitude. We are an active, fun family. We camp in the summer and have lots of indoor social gatherings with friends as well as outdoor fire pit gatherings.

We have had several students from Spain stay with us for the summer months and we have always loved hearing their English language skills improve. We love showing off our beautiful Vancouver Island and introducing our new friends to our many beautiful sights.
Arbeit
We always need help with farm tasks. We will be bringing in some firewood that will need to be stacked , a number of flower beds that need to be weeded, weed eating and lots of fir cones that need raking. Cooking skills are an appreciated - I enjoy a break from the kitchen now and then but I will do most of the cooking during your stay. We love all foods, especially curried dishes.....Yum. Help caring/feeding animals would be great as well.
We are looking for help moving/stacking firewood, gardening/weeding, and yard maintenance/raking.

I work in town Tuesday to Saturday and could always give you a lift into town at that time (and home). There are tons of parks to visit and areas to hike/camp. Salt Spring Island and their Saturday market are a quick and interesting ferry ride away and there are plenty of larger city centres nearby for exciting sightseeing, shopping, and socializing.
We are a non-smoking, drug-free home and would expect our workaway to respect this part of our lives and refrain from smoking and drug use on or around our property and us.

Carol and Trevor are both really friendly and have a great sense of humour. They make you feel like part of the family.

Daniel was such an immense help. All we had to do was point him in the general direction and he took care of everything.
