  UPDATE
  ***** HOUSE SITTER NEEDED FOR AUGUST*****
  
  
  Hi there! Thank you for visiting my page.
  I’m a socio-cultural psychologist and an optimistic, open-minded mom to a well-behaved five-year-old boy. As an American citizen who has traveled and lived in several countries over the past 20+ years, I feel incredibly fortunate. I truly believe that each new culture we encounter enriches our lives and broadens our perspectives in unique ways. For the past eight years, I have enjoyed living in all regions of Morocco. However, my health has recently declined, and I now require some assistance around the house with some simple household chores. We are centrally located between Casablanca, Marrakesh, and Agadir, just minutes from the ocean. Here, you can spend time with some wonderful animals, become part of our family, and share travel stories.

  ***** HOUSE SITTER NEEDED *****
  
  The first week in August, we will be traveling for business and need a RELIABLE and trustworthy house sitter. You will need to arrive before August 1st (the earlier, the better, so you can get to know the animals and feel comfortable with them). We will be gone for about a week, but we will need you to stay until around August 15th-ish (as we will be driving; we want extra time for unexpected delays in returning). You will be responsible for the care (feeding, cleaning up after, and interacting with) of the animals: one large 2-year-old outdoor Belgian Malinois, three indoor-only cats, four indoor-only PET baby bunnies, and an assortment of outdoor PET birds (chickens, turkey, guinea fowl).
  
  You will also be expected to keep the house clean and orderly, not have guests over, and respect our privacy by not going through our personal belongings.
  
  It is paramount that we can depend on you. Last year, when we made this trip, our house sitter disappeared right after we left town, leaving our outdoor dog to starve if it were not for the kindness of a neighbor.
  
  
  ALL OF OUR ANIMALS ARE PETS AND ARE NOT FOOD!!
  ***************
  
  
  In order to be completely transparent and avoid any miscommunication or unmet expectations, we have prepared the following:
  
  We are very excited to get to know you and hope you enjoy your stay in our home. As per Workaway terms, in return for staying in our home, you will become a member of our family and share all our meals with us. Below are the household chores that need to be completed. This should take four hours a day, and you are expected to work autonomously. These chores are in addition to cleaning up after yourself.
  
  **Daily Chores:**
  - Wash the kitchen floor (10 minutes, can be done anytime of day-preferable in the evening before bed)
  - Wash the hallway floor (5 minutes, can be done anytime of day-preferable in the evening before bed)
  - Wash the front patio, stairs, and outside entrance. (30 minutes, can be done anytime of day-preferable in the morning)
  - Wash the back patio. (20 minutes, can be done anytime of day-preferable in the morning)
  - Take out the trash.
  
  The remainder of your time should be spent either doing a special project or raking the backyard.
  Additionally, weeding and watering the garden - after it is planted.
  
  
  **Special Projects:**
  -At least once during your stay, or once a month depending on how long you stay, deep clean the kitchen. This includes, but is not limited to, the fridge, freezer, stove-top, cupboards, under the couch, and ceiling.
  -Deep clean the new plastic "dog house."
  -Clean the rooftop, including but not limited to the railing on the stairs.
  -Plant the garden once the garden boxes have been built.
  -Paint something beautiful (no nudity) on our wall/fence in the back—discuss your idea with us first.
  -If you have experience training dogs, I have a Belgian Malinois that would love to work with you to learn how to leave the free-range chickens alone.
  -If you are an experienced Waldorf or Forest educator, I am eager to learn new techniques to enhance my son's homeschooling experience.
  
  ______________________________________________________________________________________________
  For those coming specifically as Carpenters, you are excluded from the daily chores, however you will still be expected to clean up after yourself.
  Projects listed in order of importance:
  1) Build a dog house for our outside dog.
  2) Build a chicken coop.
  3) Build garden boxes.
  4) Build a school desk/workstation and chair for my son.
  5) Build a desk and chair for me.
  6) Build storage cabinets, multiple sizes for multiple purposes. Ask what they will be used for, and the actual design of the storage unit will be up to you.
  
  
  ________________________________________________________________________________________________
  My husband travels the countryside, going from souk to souk, buying and selling various items. If you are male and seeking a truly unique, one-of-a-kind, off-the-grid adventure, he would appreciate an extra pair of hands for carrying and moving things around. Please inquire specifically about this opportunity if you are interested.

  Autres infos...

  A weekly souk—a traditional open-air market—offers a unique opportunity to visit alongside the quaint little traditional village and the spectacular ocean. We are centrally located between Casablanca, Marrakesh, and Agadir, making day trips to these major tourist cities very convenient. We can easily arrange trips to see either the desert with its amazing sand dunes or the mountains. We can help you arrange any kind of personalized touristic experience you would like to have or see; just let us know what you hope to gain from your trip to Morocco.
