  Description

  Hi, I am Rose. Originally from Goa, India. Been living on the outskirts of Amsterdam for 10 years.
  Working in a tech company in Amsterdam.
  
  While I'm pretty handy around the house I always seem to be short on time. I got a new house recently in Zaandam and can't find the time to maintain the place, and organise the house to make it a home. Also due to a severe back injury, I cannot do much around the house.
  
  So I would need help in:
  - Organising shelves and closets, organising accessories.
  - Deep Cleaning of the house
  - A tiling of my 6 sq mtr front garden would also help. (Prior skills with tiling and gardens is preferred)
  - Help with cleaning and laundry.
  
  I can offer you the spare room to stay, I can also give you tips on sights to visit and restaurants to eat.
  
  I have a bicycle you can borrow to go around. Can give you tips on places to visit.

  Accommodation

  I have a spare room which has a comfortable bed. The room will be private and WiFi is included but you'll have to share the bathroom and toilet. I'm a decent cook, so I can provide dinner on some evenings when I physically can cook. But for the most part, you are respinsible for your own food.

  What else ...

  The city centre is a short 5 minute walk from my house, the station a 15 minute walk. There's a bus stop around the corner which will take you to Amsterdam or Zaandam train station. There's some tourist sights in Zaandam (Zaanse Schans windmills) and tons to see in and around Amsterdam. If I'm around I'll be happy to drop you off by car to anywhere nearby.
