  • Description

    Description

    We are a family of 7 people and a dog living in a house in the centre of a city. My husband works overseas and I'm working 4 days a week. One son is working and living on his own. Two kids are students and living in the house. One daughter (20) is slightly handicapped and comes home in weekends and needs help with getting to activities. Our fosterson (16) is home during the weekends and needs an adult around . We are looking for someone to look after the dog and the house and the flowers and preferably someone with bike and driving experience.
    That would be a social project.
