Beschreibung
Hi! We're a couple of housemates who are looking for someone to help in the house. Shane is retired and Soni just works on the weekends, so we are mostly at home.

Soni: Argentinian, 34 yo. Living in Australia for 4 years already.
Shane: Australian, 58 yo. (But with a young personality that gets along great with Millenials). He's a part time volunteer wildlife rescuer. You're welcome to help with rescues if you want.
Both well-traveled.

We have a super cute, cuddly, and unbelievably smart Cavoodle.
His name is Fozzie.
You won’t believe how amazing, extremely affectionate, and educated he is.
He is definitely a people’s dog.

We are entrepreneurs (developing our own HR online business), readers, and nerds.
We love series, movies, and art.
We enjoy nature, working out, going out to eat, the cinema, and shows.
We appreciate the smart conversation.

Although Soni is not a big social animal and prefers to be focused on her projects, Shane loves to talk, knows pretty much about any topic, and a lot about Australia!
So you will never get bored. :)
If you are ok interacting more with Shane than with Soni, then you are more than welcome.

We are fun, too! Haha! Not everything is serious here. By the way, we are very silly and Shane loves dad jokes. :P

MBTI profiles.
Shane: ENTJ, but that sometimes scores as an ENTFJ.
Soni: ENTP, but that sometimes scores as ENTJ (Shane’s first MBTI).
Let us know your type. :)

LGTBQ friendly.

We are looking for:

* Someone easygoing and (preferably) smart or that at least is interested in learning about divergent topics.

* No party animals.
No drugs.
No hard-drinking (we have a bar for occasional light drinking, mainly during the weekends).
No smoking.

* Preferably, morning people.
The earlier the better!
Since Soni wakes up at 4 am and needs help in the house. No need to wake up at that time, though. We can organize other times. No problem. (But would be good).

* Strict personal hygiene, please.

* Introverted people are welcome.
Extroverted ones too, but who know how to respect other’s people spaces, times, and silence.

* Down to earth people, please.
We are science supporters here.
So, please, no magical-thought mindsets, nor fanatically religious people would be more than appreciated!
We’d like to share deep conversations and click with you. :)

* Preferably a woman, or an LGBTQ person.

We are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and we ask you the same.
MUST HAVE travel insurance.

Arbeit
MUST

* Help Soni with preparing and storing simple vegetarian dishes.
No need to be a chef or a professional cook, but needs to be handy/resourceful/ quick in the kitchen.

* Have a flair for light cleaning, organizing, and tidying up.

WOULD BE GOOD (but not necessary)

* Mow the lawn.
* Work on a veggie patch.
* Sewing (there’s a sewing machine here).
* Note-taking and transcription.

IT’D BE INCREDIBLY AMAZING (but definitely not necessary)

* Physiotherapy/ Masseuse. We have a massage table here.
* Manicure.
* Pedicure.
* Beautician.
* Hairdresser.
* Tailor.
*Teachers:
Soni wants to:
- Learn Photoshop and Sketchup.
- Learn chess.
- Improve her English (all the learning books available at home). It has to be a professional with a degree, though, because her English is fluent and advanced.
Shane wants to:
- Learn Spanish.
