Description
Hello! I’m Sunshine. I live in a home with my husband, children and two cats. I work from home though and often take my computer with me to a cafe or beach for the scenery (want to join me??)
I’m offering a room and two daily meals for help around the house, cooking, and small projects, with possible babysitting. The apartment is centrally located and only 20 minutes from Lisbon, Portugal.
I currently need a volunteer for deep house cleaning and basic meals 6-20 August, homeschooling for an 8 and 5 year old from 1-13 September and a house/pet sitter for 15-30 December. I’m also in need of a painter interested in painting a mural on the wall. If my calendar is yellow, or green, let’s talk about dates that flow best for us.
Though I appreciate couples wanting to help, I prefer single people as my space and resources are limited.
LGTBQ friendly home.

Help
I am offering a room and two daily meals for help around the house which can include (based on our agreement): pet sitting, occasional babysitting, meal preps, graphic design help (if that's your specialty), small DIY projects, organization, decluttering as well as deep cleaning. If you are a house sitter, I am also interested in meeting you! I have a few holidays to take and would love a responsible person in the house during that time to care for my fur and plant babies.
