Im considering a seasonal move from the west coast to the east coast. Exploring the east coast, spending a good amount of time in the area has always been a dream. And now life seems to be allowing that to happen.
Would love local’s opinions on best places to call home, season work availability, what the rental market is like and anything else.
I haven’t picked an area or really even a province. I keep coming back to PEI during my research. So figured i would start here.
Ideally home would be a coastal town. My biggest concern is finding the right employment. Is there seasonal (spring and summer) work? I’m from Vancouver island and almost every town has seasonal work in the summer. I would be open to most things. Working at a resort, farm, gas station, nannying or basically anything.
My experience is a range of things.
Childcare - I have experience running a daycare from my home and Nannying.
Cleaning - cleaned commercial offices, and clinics.
Bullcooking - solo house keeper (cleaning, laundry, dishes, helping with some food prep) of a 40 man logging camp
Construction - building homes, siding, fencing etc.
Farming - raised and bred Nigerian dwarf goats, plus kept sheep, pigs, chickens, turkeys, rabbits etc.
Horses - have had horses in my life since I was a child. Skilled in ground work, day to day care, etc.
I’m excited about possibly calling a new part of Canada home. I love the outdoors. Spend most of my spare time at the ocean or in the forest. And truly think I would love the East Coast. There are so many beautiful towns, it makes it hard to choose. So I think starting with employment is the best and going from there.
Thanks in advance for any advice and information.
