    Description

    I live in a beautiful small town in southern BC, about 45 minutes North of Kamloops. Barriere is close to many lakes, waterfalls, parks, hiking trails, snowmobiling and ski areas. If you love the outdoors, this is the town to come to!
    My home is a modest two-bedroom, situated on 3 fenced acres on the edge of town. The quiet, private, wooded property is across from the river and an easy walk to town.
    I am a Registered Nurse and work on the pediatric ward at the hospital in Kamloops. I am also working on finishing writing my first book!!
    I enjoy all sorts of outdoor activities including camping, fishing, snowmobiling, hunting or just going for a drive on the backroads. My 4 very large Great Pyrenees dogs are my family here and they have free run of the property.
    I love to meet new people and would be very excited to be your host while you explore the North Thompson area.

    Help

    I would like some help keeping my house tidy and feeding my dogs when I am away for my days off.
    I could use some help watering my garden and flowers and keeping the grass mowed and yard tidy.
    I could really use the assistance of a graphic designer to design the cover of my upcoming book. I could also utilize the skills of an editor to review it for me.
    I am also looking for an illustrator for a children's storybook that I have written and plan to publish later this year.
    I could find many projects for a handyman/woman around the property as there is an endless to-do list!
