  Description

  Hi,
  We're a household of three, two adults and an immunocompromised senior. We live in a house in Vancouver, close to transit. I can provide advice on what to see and do. I stay at home supporting my parent. We welcome workawayers who are able to help with cooking, cleaning, decluttering, organizing, sorting and posting things online. We welcome workawayers who are mature, responsible, respectful non-smokers. Please refrain from wearing perfume/cologne due to health issues.

Instruction will be given on cleaning and decluttering and posting things online. You will have free time to explore Metro Vancouver and surroundings. I can provide advice on what to see and do.

  What else ...

  We're in a centrally located area, close to skytrain and buses. There's lots to do and see in Vancouver and surrounding areas. Due to health issues, we can only have non-smokers in the house. As well, no drugs, no alcohol and no guests. Keep in mind that there is an immunocompromised senior so if you are feeling sick or have been around someone with an infectious disease, please do not visit us.
