Description
My name is Jess and I’m an empty nester mom who works from home, teaches yoga to share my practice and who’s very active, especially with outdoor activities. My home is a charming historic farmhouse but with all the modern features you could want. We are one hour from NYC and one hour from Philadelphia and 45 minutes from the beach. There’s also cool areas close by like Princeton and New Hope PA. We have 4 acres of land in the foothills of the Sourland mountains with hiking just outside our back door. There’s also rivers for kayaking. My dog Michael and his brother cat Dash are super lovable boys that need someone home with them overnight. I like to go away from time to time and need someone reliable and kind, who loves animals to come stay with us and enjoy what our home, family and location have to offer. I am also looking for someone to help with basic house chores, landscaping and gardening and general home maintenance in exchange for room and board. If that sounds appealing to you, reach out and let me know what you’re interested in.
