Description
We are a family of 5 who live in a beautiful home in the Trinity Bellwoods neighborhood in Toronto, myself, my husband, and my 3 boys (20, 17 and 13). My 20 year old son is away at University currently and my 17 y/o son is at boarding school half the week. Toronto is regarded as one of the top cities and our neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods are often voted as the coolest neighborhoods in the world. You can immerse yourself in the art, culture, music, food, and people of downtown Toronto!

Help
We are looking for a female workawayer to drive our 13 year old to school in the mornings, times very between 7:45am, 9am or 11:30am. Then pick him up once or twice a week at 3:45pm. Whenever he has weekday hockey, you'd need to drive him to that as well. There is a lot of driving with this position and you must be an experienced driver. On top of this, occasional food shopping, walking dog twice a day, and always tidying up after yourself is required. All family members have our separate busy lives, when we come together we enjoy connecting. The ideal candidate would use our house as a home base, but not expect their travel experience to be centered around us. We are a welcoming family, but we have little time to connect with each other, so we may prioritize that over including the workawayer in every aspect of our lives. We encourage you to meet people through apps, meetups, dog park (great place to meet people),doing work at coffee shops etc...
It's not an ideal situation for anyone to have new people live in their home, but this is what we need to do in our lives for the moment, so hopefully we can create a win-win situation for all parties.
Also my husband has perfume allergies, so no perfumes can be worn in the house
