  • Description

    Description

    We are currently looking for a responsible, practical, and reliable person who speaks English or Spanish.

    At the moment, I mainly need help with painting my apartment and fixing or organizing different things around the house. I am looking for someone who is handy, enjoys practical work, and can help with small repairs, maintenance, organizing spaces, and general household tasks — a real all-around helper.

    The collaboration will be 5 hours per day, 5 days per week.

    At the same time, I expect collaboration in daily home life: helping maintain cleanliness, order, and respect for shared spaces. I appreciate people who are organized, proactive, clean, respectful, and independent.

    We offer a welcoming and respectful family environment based on communication, mutual trust, and kindness.

    Sleepy and Slappy

    Sleepy and Slappy are very sociable and good-natured cats. They are friendly, calm, and easy to handle in everyday situations. They enjoy human company, even if they don’t particularly like being held in someone’s arms for long periods. Overall, they are easy to manage and adapt well to their environment.

    Sleepy and Slappy are female cats. They are especially sweet and sociable, with gentle personalities. Like the others, they prefer interaction on their own terms and are not big fans of being carried, but they are cooperative, balanced, and easy to care for.
