Job:
5 hours/week
Pay negotiable depending on skills and experience
You must have your own tools (can store tools at house if desired)
You must be capable, competent, confident, chill, with a solid design sense and be pleasant to work with
Looking for:
(1) Someone (any gender) with very handy dad/uncle/older brother energy. Someone where I can say “paint this, hang this, switch the laundry, take all that trash out” and you say “on it” or “already done” NOT “show me how?”
(2) I work long hours, love my job, love supporting my staff. ***This caretaker job*** is how I am ***spoiling myself***. It needs to make my life sooooo easy and sooooo pretty. This is the nice thing I am doing for me, to feel cared for. I want to feel like a Disney Princess because my (giant old) house is always perfect 🥰

Hanging shelves and mirrors on old plaster walls (you must be able to comfortably/effortlessly do this)
Painting, painting ceilings, lime washing, painting using stencils
Hanging new ceiling lights or ceiling fans

Extensive yard work. Thinning overgrown yard, building compost, building raised beds, clear paths
Taking trash out
“Maid jobs”: put in load of laundry, switch it, put it away. Dishes. Quick wipe down of bathroom sink and shower. Mop floors.
Do all the “work” of design projects, such as: paint laundry room white and whatever other cute ideas I have like adding shelves or baskets. Paint or limewash back stairwell so it’s a beautiful entry space not a so-so entry space
Handyperson type / caretaker like old fashioned caretaker of estates in movies / must be okay with doing cleaning/maid/girl jobs too. Must be highly capable.
When I find the right person/right fit, I hope for it to be a long term thing. I have endless projects and other clients I can connect you with too. 41427five4nine97 to discuss. Call, don’t text.
