  Description

  Our home is in the city of Toronto in a leafy area and a short walk to the subway. It is my son and I who live in the house plus I enjoy hosting international students and one might be here while you are here. I enjoy conversation at the dinner table. Mom is a recently retired English and Music teacher. My son, Julian is in high school. We have a cat, Cocoa Puff. Our hope is that Workawayers can help with painting jobs, gardening and yard work, or speak with me in Spanish. Sometimes I need help cleaning and gardening at my duplex. If I am out for the evening, I would ask you for prepare dinner for yourself and the students, although this would not happen often. In the winter, I require help to shovel the snow as I am not able to do it. Frequently I entertain and would want you to meet my friends and be part of the fun. Also, you can help me prepare whether it is a firepit get together, a Halloween party, or a dinner party. You will work 5 hours a day for 5 days and have two days off. I provide very comfortable accommodations and healthy meals. We have a room with a double bed available, so we can accommodate a single person or a couple. No smokers please, as we are non smokers ourselves.
  
  I need a mature workawayer who is comfortable cooking dinners and keeping the kitchen clean. You will not need to cook each night but half of the days. There is some garden work as well.
