  Learning another language is nice, but due to my schedule, it's difficult to set time aside for it.

  Accommodation

  I live alone with my Shiba Inu dog in a small studio apartment in Manhattan: Flatiron/NoMad neighborhood. I have a sofa bed that folds out to be a twin/single bed. Due to the small space, there is little privacy, so I am ideally looking for Workawayer who will not be lounging around the apartment all day. My apartment building is strict with security, so you will always need to have an ID or Passport each time you enter the building. You will be given a key to enter my apartment.

  What else ...

  You're welcome to go anywhere with no curfew as long as you are able to help around. However, I require you to send me a copy of your passport or government-issued photo ID to be given this permission -- out of safety reasons.

  There are multiple subway stations that are 3-10 minutes away from my apartment, but the closest subway stations are 28th Street: 6 train and 28th Street: R and W trains.
