    Help

    You will help us clean up the house, as well as some basic gardening work. I am an expert in gardening, so I can teach you from basic if you have no idea about gardening.

    In the garden, we usually need about 1 hour of work. Remaining 3 hours, you can help me clean up the house or help me cook. We have roomba and brava, so you will most likely work less than 4 hours in general.

    If you like cooking, that will be a big plus!! ( I often cook Asian food, most often Japanese food )

    If you speak Spanish, Japanese, Turkish, Farsi or French, I would love you more! These are language I am teaching my kids now, so it will be great if you can take some time teaching them.

    My children are 11 and 7.5, so you will NOT need to babysit them.

    I am very open and flexible, so feel free to message me your skillset or hobbies. We will start from there.
    Also, I am almost always home. We can go hiking and coffee shop together.
