Work abroad in JAEDEN's family for 3-24 Months starting from Mar 2023 as an Au Pair to take care of 1 children of 1 - 5 years old & 6 - 10 years old in Kaslo, British Columbia Canada

Dear Aupair,

let's get this out of the way: we are in the forest, in the mountains with a 2km driveway that is also a Forest Service Road. we are remote! and although the animals can be great company, if solitude is an issue, best move along to the next profile ;)

setting appropriate expectations, clear communication and honesty are paramount on our ranch.

safety is an important consideration/responsibility and because maybe 2 or 3 days of each week, the Aupair will be home alone with the child, an experienced driver is required. first-aid is an asset. I am an Emergency First Responder and trained in Non-Urban Emergency Care (advanced wilderness first aid, basically) and a member of Kaslo's Search & Rescue.
at the cabin we have a VoIP telephone, a UHF radio and a satellite Emergency Rescue device (Garmin InReach+). the Aupair will be trained in the use of each, of course.

i love the wilderness, the natural world and am thrilled by the environment I get to raise my children in!
we have animals (dogs, cats, chickens, goats and horses), are at peace with (relative) isolation and happy to be in a rustic, if somewhat manicured, environment. I still love community, but am focused on my new business, the ranch and my children and so my days are very full. a strong, adventurous addition to our family will be useful and valued!

we are fully off-grid (microhydro), use propane, Starlink Internet & Ooma Telo. we gather artisan spring water for drinking (our gravity-fed water is great and totally safe to drink, but high in calcium). we are 100% organic and strive towards becoming self-sufficient. we eat meat occasionally, but honestly rarely cook it at home and have zero issues with including or working around your dietary preferences/needs.

for dreams on the ranch (not necessary): would like to find an avid gardener (we installed hugel-kultur beds in a 64' fenced circle) or at least somebody who is interested in learning and doesn't mind getting their hands dirty ;)

our ranch is on a very large piece of property in the wilderness. I use a tractor to clear snow and mow the numerous meadows.

we live in a small two bedroom log home with a pond out front, a big barn, an outdoor cold storage and a wood/power shed. I'm hoping to build some Woofer accommodations this spring/summer, but it might be a 2024 thing. we do have a 5th wheel travel trailer with water and power hookups (grey water septic only).
