  Descripción

  Hello! Hallo, grüezi! Welcome to Calgary!
  
  We are offering a private room and shared bathroom in a beautiful house in the Varsity neighbourhood of Calgary (12-min walk to University of Calgary MacEwan Hall).
  
  The house belongs to an elderly German-and-Swiss couple, who have lived here since the late 1970's and who taught at the UofC. If you speak German, (or even Schwyzerdütsch!) that will be a big plus! (Just like the Swiss flag, a big plus ;) )
  
  We need some help around the house with things like meal preparation (vegetarian), kitty-care, and general company. I may be able to offer some part-time employment for this, which we could talk about further.
  
  The person organizing this (me) is the 40-year-old daughter, and I frequently stay in the house as well.
  
  The residence is a 10-min walk to Market Mall, a 12-min walk to the LRT, and there is space for parking.
  
  The room available is in the basement, which gets afternoon sun, and has a lounge-area with TV screen and couches. The bathroom is shared by the resident of the other basement room, a friendly and respectful female in her mid-30's. You're also very welcome to use the (vegetarian) kitchen, and to the upstairs guest room for studying or reading. This house was full of children when I was growing up, so there is lots of space. The house has a piano, and plenty of outdoor space as well. Utilities and wifi included.
  
  We are looking for someone organized, motivated, kind, caring, positive, good with cats and elderly people, respecting the vegetarian kitchen, (no partying, drama or addictions please). Please respond with why you would like to live here, your situation, and references would be a big plus as well! (Just like the Swiss flag, as mentioned ;) )
  
  I plan to meet/show the place via video first, and then we can meet in person and proceed from there. Thank you!

  My parents are both very interesting people with funny stories to share; I believe you would enjoy their company while helping us with our home, in a setting that is close to transportation within Calgary and the surrounding area.

  Ayuda

  The help we need is really very straightforward: think of it like easy babysitting, but for an elderly couple and a kitty. If you have literary interests it's another big plus, as we are collecting my parents' stories from growing up in Germany/Switzerland in the 1940's and later.
