Need a Helping Nand?

Hi there!

My name is Ramita, and I am living on Thetis Island (came from Nepal in Feb) and I love it here! I am currently available to hire for a variety of household jobs and would love to help out. I am a dedicated, honest and hard worker and I have been working with several local families, and hoping to expand!

Anything from:

• Cleaning
• Weeding
• Laundry
• Cleaning home between guests or Airbnb rentals
• Child care
• Vegetarian Nepali Cooking (so delicious!)

If there's something not on the list, reach out and we can chat! I charge $25/hr, and I am often available on short notice. I ride my bike currently (so I am limited in range) but also offer a discount if rides are arranged - mutually beneficial!

Please email or text to connect - ramitaa16@gmail.com or 403-925-0102

I'm excited to meet you!
Ramita

POSTPONED UNTIL TOMORROW, JUNE 1st! Cemetery Clean Up

On Saturday May 31st from 10-3, St. Margaret’s Cemetery Committee will be having its annual maintenance day. The cemetery is a vault of island history and is the permanent home for many of our forebears. From tidying up headstones, to general landscaping there will be a range of projects to suit everyone's interests and abilities. We welcome all Islanders.

Please plan to come by and join us, we encourage everyone to join. If possible, please bring small garden tools for general landscaping and/or scrub brushes and water pails to clean grave markers. We would encourage you to contribute to the picnic lunch, where we will remember and celebrate the lives that came before us.
