Help our family & explore the Bronx NYC OR Yonkers, Westchester, New York, USA.

Description

We are a small family of three- My husband, daughter and myself. We live in our private home in Yonkers, Westchester County of New York and also own a home in the Bronx, NYC. Both homes are in a quiet residential neighborhood. Our lives are pretty fast paced and we could use some help around the house. My husband went back to school studying accounting and my daughter is a pharmacy student. l work full time in a school as a School Counselor.

I enjoy being a workawayer as well as a host and have traveled extensively. We have had some amazing experience hosting. We are easy going and love meeting people from all walks of life.

I love the Bronx because of it's diverse culture. Bronx is the home of the Yankees, Bronx Botanical Garden, Bronx Zoo, Bronx museum of Arts and a host of other attractions. Yonkers has a lot to offer too. You will be staying in our house in the Bronx if you decide to volunteer with us. Whether you stay in the Bronx or Yonkers, it's pretty easy to get to Manhattan. Train and bus stations are nearby.


Currently, we need help with cleaning, house keeping , lawn care, painting, small maintenance projects.

PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME FOR THE MONTHS OF July-NOVEMBER. I DO NOT HAVE AVAILABILITY. I CURRENTLY HAVE A WORKAWAYER UNTIL DECEMBER.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR INTEREST.
