Description
****Hi, I don't have space availability till March next year. But if you have a work permit and are looking to make some money, I can use some help with household chores on ad hoc basis. Feel free to contact me about that.****
Hi! I am Malahat and I live with my boyfriend Moe in beautiful Vancouver BC. We are both originally Iranian, but have been living in Canada long enough and we are both citizens. Over the years we have had many international students live with us and we all have enjoyed the exchange.
I am a designer by profession and I design the interface of software and websites. Moe is a supervisor in a company. I am more artsy and interested in psychology and social sciences and Moe is more into sports and volunteering. We have both travelled the world and love learning about new cultures and making connections.
We live in a 4 bedroom house in East Vancouver. Our house is located in a beautiful quite neighborhood close to two parks (check Trout lake on google). We also have fluffy cat living with us. We are very close to a sky train station and that train can take you anywhere you want. In 5 minutes bus or train ride ( or 20min bike ride), you can get to one of the most hip areas of Vancouver, commercial drive. Commercial drive, also known as little Italy bustles with restaurants, cafes, boutique and little shops. It has a diverse population and is venue to music and theatre events. Another 15 minute train ride and you are at downtown Vancouver. From there you can go to Stanley park or the seawall and be beside the ocean. You will love our place for it's style and convenient location.
Our child is 3 years old and we are a very busy family. We need your help playing with her and helping with house chores (cooking, maintenance). My daughter goes to day-care full time so most of the care needed is in the evenings and weekends. We are pretty flexible in negotiating the hours and are looking between 15- 17 hrs per week in a mix of childcare / house help. Looking forward to chatting!
*Covid stuff details:
Because Moe is in high risk category and we have an infant we need to be super cautious. So we are looking for someone who is double vaccinated and boosted by the time they join while they are still super cautious because our little one is not vaccinated.Types of help and learning opportunities
