Description
Very friendly Canadian family welcomes you to come and stay with us. Nice room and healthy meals provided in return for help around the house both inside and out. There is already a full-time nanny who is main caregiver for 13-year-old boy and 7-year-old girl but some assist may be needed driving, playing with kids.
French is an asset as 7 yr old girl in primarily French school.
Beautiful house is within walking distance of Lonsdale and the shops of North Vancouver.
It is an easy walk to the ocean and seabus to downtown Vancouver. There are lots of buses and easy access to North Shore hiking trails.
