  Description

  My name is Katerina.
  I live with my 14-year-old son in Chermside. It is about 20 minutes by bus to Brisbane city.
  I am originally from Russia, my son is Australian.
  We like travelling, nature and animals
  We are moving to another place in Chermside at the end of January and need a young guest who would help us to pack the boxes, disassemble the furniture, tidy up the garden, help to carry the boxes and furniture on the day when we move.
  It would be good if you have common interests with my son like science, technologies and video games.
  Please check my calendar. It is unlikely that I can offer you accommodation if the month is marked brown.

  Help

  Help with moving to a new place: pack the boxes, disassemble the furniture, clean the backyard, help to carry the boxes and furniture on the day of moving the house (we'll have professional removalists, but will still need help).
  You may cook together with my son or take him somewhere with you to explore the area. If you are advanced in science, programming or computer games, my son will be happy to talk to you. He is quite mature, so it won't be like babysitting.

  Accommodation

  Private room in a 2-bedroom apartment. The room doesn't have an air conditioner, but has a fan. It may be quite hot in the room during the day, but may be okay at night.
  We don't provide food. The guest can buy and cook their own food. We may share food if the guest would like to, but it may be difficult as we are not good eaters.
  We have a big fluffy cat, so our place may not be good for guests with allergies or sensitivity to smells.

• 

  What else ...

  The guest should be a non-smoker. It means the guest doesn't smoke at all. Please don't bring alcohol to our place and don't drink too much outside as we are sensitive to smells.
  We have quiet time from 9 pm to 9 am and in the morning when my son has online classes.
