Ideal Guest
Personable, communicative, a good listener, likes to be at home, fully vaccinated for COVID-19, clean, doesn't smoke, doesn't mind relatives visiting with their dog. Ideally, the guest would have some health or mental health care background meaning they are empathic or helpful with a 97 year old man. A plus if they are handy with tools and interested in science and able to chat with this often quite interesting man. He has daytime caregivers so we are looking for a responsible housemate.
Optional Task help for rent reduction
Estimated Monthly Rent reduction of $3400 for a minimum of 170 hours per month of help. Details should be discussed when you contact the Host.
Task Description
The task is mostly to be a responsible person sleeping at home and keeping track of the household details. There will be some technology or health related requests and some evenings being a present person at home. We are looking for a "homebody" who tends to be around a lot.
