Descripción
I live with a siamese cat and work in construction in the San Francisco Bay Area. My family are away for a few months, so I need help in the garden and around the house. We live in a duplex in a little town called Crockett. It is situated across the bay from San Francisco with a fabulous view of the Carquinez bridge and Carquinez strait.

I need help with cleaning and organizing the house, Also gardening: weeding and cutting grass, and cleaning the patios.

Algo más...
We are very central to all the famous sights in the bay area. We live close to San Francisco, where you can explore all the famous sights. It is only 1/2 an hour drive by car (without traffic), approximately one hour on public transport. The bus stop is very close to the house. We have excellent restaurants within walking distance. There are lots of hiking, walking, biking trails. There are parks within walking distance. Local swimming pool (open in summer time) is only a 10 min walk. Skiing in winter is a 2 1/2 hour drive to Lake Tahoe. Yosemite is only a 3 hour drive. Stinson Beach and Point Reyes along the coast are approximately 1 hour away. Napa Valley wine country and Calistoga are an hour drive away. Our capital Sacramento is less than an hour away. Take off in the other direction to spend time exploring Pacifica, Half Moon Bay, Carmel, Pebble Beach, Monterey, Big Sur to name but a few of our wonderful sights. It takes just over an hour to get to famous Silicon Valley.
