Description
I am a writer and have been an English composition instructor at a university so can expertly help you with your English. I am writing a book and work as a business consultant from home . We invite you to enjoy our exciting university city of Burlington that wins awards nationally for an exciting place to live. We want to host a warm-hearted helper who would help the boys with homework when I am out of the house. I am a Princeton anthropologist, published writer and business consultant, fund raiser and Fair Trade entrepreneur. We have boats you can use, a swimming pool, a tennis court and are near bike trails. We remain close friends with the past workawayers who have lived with us. We will treat you like family and want to share the American holiday traditions with you!
I am a divorced woman with two sons ages 11 and 13. We hope for fun in your free time that you like to play tennis, card and board games, ski, make art, go boating. If you have a playful, gentle, kind-hearted spirit, then you will fit in with our family of three. I will not host a smoker or drug user. You will be treated as a member of the family and I will try to become a friend for life with you.
