The Experience

We are really excited for this opportunity to meet new people. We have traveled quite extensively and taken cooking classes in many different countries and look forward to sharing our experiences. We love meeting new people from new cultures and look forward to sharing our own. I have little experience in Spanish and French and consider myself a beginner with both languages. We are retired, busy, and could use help with gardening, diy,etc.

Great experience! Kath and Vick were very welcoming. The hours were flexible and jobs were well explained. The facilities are also great and have an amazing view of Victoria. The sunsets are fabulous!

Our experience with Vic and Kathryn was wonderful. They made us feel comfortable and welcome. The suite we stayed in was like no other place we have stayed in while working, with all the amenities needed and an incredible view of Victoria. There are lots of stairs as it's situated on top of the home, but you'll soon get used to these! Lunches and dinners were great. We were always encouraged to eat more and had plenty of options. Work hours were flexible. Jobs were as described and the more handy you are, the better!
