Beschreibung
NO AVAILABILITY until July 2026 or after. I am seeking a workaway person to be here fall 2026 to assist with home chores while I recover from a surgery (in September 2026). Helpful if you can paint some bedrooms while you are staying here. Helpful if you can drive me to a few PT appointments each week, or drive to get groceries while I am not able to drive for about 1 month.
We are a small family in Chicago with big hearts. We are a working mom with 1 teenager. We often host international exchange students. Although we are in a big city, we have backyard chickens, one medium sized dog. We have a variety of plants inside and out. Our dog is a friendly, so anyone who stays should be comfortable with a 22 lb dog who wants to be your best friend. You must like dogs and be willing to walk the dog/ pick up the dog poop each day.
Note: we only intend to host a few workawayers a year (not back to back) because we like to travel ourselves.

Chicago is a world class city with great architecture, interesting museums including the Art Institute of Chicago, restaurants, nightlife, and so much to see and do. If you're an active person, during warmer months our lakefront is amazing (it's a 3 mile bike or run from our home to Foster Beach and a 19 mile lakefront trail).
Projekte mit Kindern
Dieses Projekt schließt möglicherweise den Umgang mit Kindern ein. Mehr Informationen findest du in unseren Verhaltensregeln und Tipps hier.
Arbeit
The main help you will do is to clean the house and yard (about 1 -2 hours per day) and walk the dog (about 20 minutes per day). Occasionally there will be an "extra tasks" asked such as "help clean the garden or garage".... a total of about 6 - 10 hours per week of tasks.
I would ask for general house help: cooking, cleaning, watering plants, light yard work (it's a very small yard and a small back patio) such as raking leaves, sweeping the patio, feeding chickens and bringing in eggs, and walking the our dog (20 minutes every day). Also help with other homeowner maintenance projects (projects such as washing windows, sweeping garage, etc).

Kann Digital Nomads unterbringen
I have hosted digital nomads. My WIFI bandwidth is sufficient. The hours you are working affect what spaces we have available. We are often gone during the school day, in which case you can work in the main rooms. If you are working when we are home you would need to work from your private bedroom.
