Nikki's Cottage Care

First oil change and service of the year. Getting ready to head out working tomorrow! So happy to be back.

Back on the bay working! First painting job of the season.

A COTTAGE INDUSTRY AT ITS BEST Nicole Phillips wanted a summer job that would let her enjoy being at the cottage while being her own boss. Through Summer Comp...any, she was able to do both. Nikki’s Cottage Care offered lawn care and outdoor maintenance that ran the gamut from sanding doors to hauling brush and logs. To let potential clients know about her service, Nicole handed out flyers and business cards and called every cottager on Woods Bay near Parry Sound. It wasn’t long before her phone started ringing and she was busy all summer long. I was much more successful than I thought I would be and I enjoyed every minute of it, she says. The 20-year old York University nursing student plans to operate Nikki’s Cottage Care again next summer. Summer Company taught me so many entrepreneurial skills that I will have with me for life, and I am so happy I did it! Learn more at www.ontario.ca/summercompany
