We are a quiet mixed nationality family, Chinese/Canadian with one Daughter and a small friendly dog. We both work and the Daughter is attending Dalhousie University. We live in the city on bus routes with possible drives available to Dalhousie in the morning depending on your schedule. We offer full service including 3 meals and box lunch if needed. We have a home office and home gym for working out. because my wife is Chinese, she cooks mostly Chinese meals. We are professional with lots of outings on the weekend including hiking, tennis, and shopping as well as local travel. We welcome all students from all over the world but prefer girls.
