    Description

    My name is Craig. I'm a full time touring folk musician - singer/songwriter. I live with my 12 year old daughter Rowan and occasionally spend time with her younger brother Elijah. I run a small music agency out of my home with 2-3 full time workers. We're in need of a dedicated "groundskeeper" to maintain our home, help with meals, cleaning, and occasional child supervision.
