Help with looking after our son while exploring Canadian culture in Valemount

  Description

  Hello!
  
  We recently moved to the beautiful, quiet, little mountain destination of Valemount, BC, and are excited to welcome workawayers to our home! I'm originally from the UK and came to Canada almost 13 years ago as a workawayer and loved it so much I decided to stay. I met my husband through workaway and we have done a couple of workaways together around the world.
  
  Valemount is nestled between three mountain ranges: The Rockies, The Caribous, and The Monashees in a remote area of BC. We moved here in October 2024 to get back to living in a small town with great access to the outdoors. In the winter we enjoy snowboarding, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing; in the summer we climb, hike, and paddle. If you want to experience living in a small, quiet town with a great community and also enjoy working with children this would be a great match for you.
  
  We are mainly looking for someone to help with childcare with our 20-month-old Son so I can work remotely from home. We are also doing some renovations and DIY projects to the house we just moved into so if you are handy with that kind of thing too that would be a bonus! We can accommodate one or two people at once (one bedroom with a queen bed).
  
  If you're interested in staying with us and want to hear more about this opportunity please reach out with a message about yourself, your experience with childcare and/or DIY, and why you'd like to come and stay with us in Valemount.
  
  Looking forward to hearing from you!
  
  Annie and Freeman

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Freeman and I have done workaways together and we met because I did a workaway with his Mum's business, a white water rafting company in Grande Cache, Alberta. We have worked with many, many workawayers through that business and would now love to host someone ourselves. We would love to introduce you to the community and show you what it is we love so much about this amazing place!

  Aide

  The main help we need is childcare for our 20-month-old Son so that I can work remotely from home. This will involve playing in the house with him, reading to him, taking him outside lots, feeding him, changing diapers, and putting him down to nap. He is a very active little guy and loves to be outside. Valemount is small so it's easy to walk anywhere in town with him in the stroller.
  
  I'd also love some help to cook nutritious family meals.
  
  We just moved into a house that needs updating and have some DIY projects planned so if you are handy with tools and enjoy that kind of thing it would also be very helpful.

  Hébergement

  Large private bedroom in our home with a queen bed. Shared bathroom, kitchen and living area.
  
  I'm open to discussing how you would like to do food. I'm more than happy to buy enough food for all of us, to eat evening meals together and for you to help yourself like a member of the family. If you would like to keep your food separate we can accommodate that too.

  Valemount has endless opportunities for outdoor activities when it comes to time off. If you love to explore nature and the outdoors this is the perfect place for you. There are a few great restaurants and cafes in town too.
  
  How to get here: If you have a vehicle there is room to park it at our house. You can also get the train (via rail) right to Valemount or a Sundog bus to Jasper and we can pick you up from there.
