Help
We mostly need help with some fencing, and just supervising the children. I do prefer it if I do not have to do all the cooking by myself...I think cooking should be a shared task, and I am still learning how to do this. For the most part I think we are pretty chill and just need some help with watching the children when nobody is home. Andrew works away from home and Alicia is a stay at home mom. We hope to travel to Italy 🇮🇹 this year. Bonus if you can teach us some.

He'll takes good care of you :) During… read more
