A little bit about us
What we really need is someone that is able to come in and take over some of the house management. My wife and I are pretty busy with work and kids activities and we can’t always be in different places. My wife’s father has been staying with us but he’s in his mid 70’s and has Parkinson’s and needs assistance sometimes as well.
We would love to find someone that is neat and organized and can help tidy up so the house doesn’t implode because we’re so busy or unavailable. Relieving some of that mental load capacity would be huge for our families success and sanity!
