Three meals a day, and a family to come home to.
A typical school day, what we eat, and the house guidelines.
Family life
Three meals a day, and dinner together.
Breakfast before school, a packed lunch to take with them, and dinner at the big table in the bay window. We cook a mix of Korean and Canadian food and are happy to work around allergies and preferences.
- Korean and Canadian home cooking
- Allergies and dietary needs taken seriously
- Shared family room, living room and covered deck
- Homework and English help on request, as a paid extra
On weekends
Trails behind the house, Buntzen Lake in summer, Rocky Point Park in Port Moody, grocery runs to the Korean markets on North Road, and the SkyTrain into downtown Vancouver.
