  Description

  July 14 - August 18,2025
  
  I live with my husband, Glenn and our sweet dog Willy in South Minneapolis in a four bedroom home. Glenn is a first grade teacher in Minneapolis Public schools and I provide organization development consulting to nonprofits and other organizations and small businesses. We love the outdoors and hike as much as we can. Minneapolis is an awesome place to visit because of all the art, nature, and theater opportunities. There are many lakes and bicycle paths as well as off the beaten path, unusual places to check out.

  Help

  We are looking for a couple or two to three friends or siblings to stay in our home while we are away for 5 weeks this summer to complete household jobs like painting, caulking windows, and other small fix it tasks around the house that have been neglected by two busy people! We will be home to show you the tasks to be done.
  We will discuss the tasks to be done. You can complete them on your own schedule, but we assume it would take you about 3 hours a day, five days a week.
