    Help

    I’m looking for someone to help out around the house. Sometimes I work out of town and can be gone for over a week at a time. Chores are simple, cleaning, feeding/ watering dogs (once a day), collecting eggs from the chickens and in winter just helping with keeping the fires going. It’s mostly house sitting while I’m away, when I’m home I do most of these things myself. The dogs are 3 hunting hounds that usually stay in a kennel but in cold winter days they come in the house and are big couch potatoes lol. I also have 2 kids that visit me every second weekend, they are 12 and 14 so they take care of themselves but may need pick up and drop off from time to time.

    Accommodation

    Accommodations: the house is 4500 sq/ft with 3 floors. The room available has its own bathroom with shower and access to the balcony. The rest of the house including the kitchen would be shared accommodations. Being able to cook is a huge bonus as we would be having meals together.

    What else ...

    I am a hunter, I eat alot of wild game meats, if your interested in learning lots about the outdoors, this is your place. If you have transportation that would be a bonus but I’m sure we could figure something out that works. I have extra vehicles but would have to be insured under your name. In my free time I will to take you and show you around town if you’d like
