Description
Hello. My husband and I are newly retired and wish to travel. We are looking for someone who is independent to, self-sufficient, and who is comfortable doing snow removal as well as gardening, and housekeeping. This might be a great place to take a break from longer travel, or to take the time to write a novel while you are here.... I basically need someone to make my life easier as I go back and forth between Stratford and Markham. For the most part your day would look like making sure that areas in the house are clean and tidy, and helping organize and selling things on fb as needed. So whoever comes, we are looking for maybe 2 to 3 months stay, so that you can learn routines, and integrate into the fabric of the household, where you become familiar with the place and the routines, and on the occasions that my husband and I are not able to be at the house, you look after the dogs and the property. It's a large home and we also have a long term roommate who is here who knows the ropes. And Markham is an amazing place from which to travel. We have been so grateful to all of our workwayers. I think for this particular opportunity, we need someone who has a level of maturity and responsibility to maintain a place, and make mature decisions running a house in our absence. If you are looking for a long term place to lay your head, love animals and house maintenance and food prep, do send us an email:)

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
By all accounts, even though I think Jeff and I are old and boring, people generally like us and have good things to say aboyt staying with us. Sadly, I did get covid during Delta and have a long haul symptoms and had a vaccine reaction so I do ask that people still wear a mask when in close proximity with me. But I think they could learn a lot of what not to do with their lives, as well as how to enjoy life.
Help
So the details are being worked out as we move forward. If you are mature, responsible, good at cleaning, organizing, and being independent comama and potentially doing yard work as well, that would be great.
