  Description

  We are a family (3 children) living on a small farm, 7 acres surrounded by Forest, near lakes on the outskirts of a charming village in NB. Mom is a health & wellness Enthusiast that has recently opened an in-home studio offering healing modalities. Dad works away in northern canada in accountability and Human Resources & spends time with kids at our home the other half. *we are in the process of separating, so there might be some changes to be expected in the future. We would love support around the house/ farm with kids, daily light chores: dishes, sweeping, recycling/ garbages/ compost. participating in weekly chores : floor, bathroom. garden & animals. We look forward to hearing from you in the hope to share culture & friendship if you find our offering a good fit.
