Homestay in Toronto, Canada
I'm starting a new chapter in my life as a retired high school teacher and the wife of an accountant who will soon retire. It will be quieter and more receptive to worthwhile opportunities. One of our two adult daughters teaches elementary school, and the other is presently working toward a doctor-of-pharmacy degree. Our family's guiding principles have always been support, structure, and education.
We have been pleased to provide off-campus housing to international students enrolled in a number of Toronto-area universities and colleges since 2019. Being a host has greatly improved our lives and given us the opportunity to welcome young people adjusting to a new nation and culture into our home.
It seems natural to us to continue hosting international students in our home as we move toward a more flexible lifestyle. We provide a tidy, courteous, and encouraging atmosphere that is well-balanced with our background in teaching and sincere desire to make students feel comfortable and safe.
As we embark on this fulfilling journey, we look forward to keeping our hearts and doors open to international students.
