  A spacious 5-bedroom house surrounded by gardens and trees, offering peace, fresh air, and starlit nights.

  - **Us**: Two working parents who love storytelling, video games,DIY projects, sharing meals, and great conversations.
  - **The Girls**: Independent 7-year-old biracial half-sister twins! They’re in school/activities most days, so there is limited interaction due to school and extracurricular activities, but they do adore saying “hello” and learning about new cultures.
  
  **HELP NEEDED (Seasonal!):**
  - **🌷 Spring/Summer**: Gardening/landscaping (we have a BIG yard!), 2 raised garden beds, pruning, mulching, weeding and always some new outdoor projects.

  **WE OFFER:**
  - **Your Own Room and private bathroom**: Quiet space to recharge.
  - **Shared Meals**: Home-cooked dinners. Non-vegetarian, pork and chicken are our main source of protein.
