    Description

    Help with house projects including DIY renovations, gardening, organising, or cooking. I have a small 3 bedroom California bungalow I share with my Jack Russell x Mini Foxy, Peanut, a short walk to a small off leash beach in a quiet suburb. Close to Geeling CBD (7km), train (1km) and Spirit of Tasmania ferry (2km). You're also welcome to use my pottery studio and have a lesson or two if I've got the time.

    Accommodation

    Bedroom with double bed and aircon. Shared bathroom. 1920s house with small garden. All food included but I'd love a hand with cooking as it's not my forte.

    I'll provide breakfast and dinner if you can help with meal prep and clean up. Lunch is usually left overs or whatever you can find in the fridge.

    Small dog friendly pets are welcome. Just let me know so I can assess on a case by case as I don't want my dog to feel put out. Indoor cats also okay.
