    Description

    We are a small family in Orlando area looking for help around the house and with gardening. Kevin is a pediatrician in a small office nearby, Nicole works at a nature preserve and Finn is a fun 10 year old boy who goes to the local school. We are an active family, frequently exploring new areas and having adventures. We have a senior dog as well.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are a family that loves to explore our wonderful state. We would love to take day trips with our traveller to visit several Florida towns. Our inquisitive son would love to learn about your culture and also show you about our life. We do like going to theme parks but also greatly enjoy exploring in nature. If you are here during a holiday or festival, we would love to show you how Floridians celebrate! You would be a welcome member of our family and you are invited to attend all activities with us.

  • Help

    Help

    General Household help would involve regular cleaning of the kitchen, bathrooms, floors and assisting with meal preparations.
    Gardening would involve maintaining the wildlfower garden, weeding and general landscape care. This is work you can do at your own schedule once we show you what is needed.
    Having people who are comfortable with kids is ideal because our son will definitely ask you to play! He likes video games, lego and animals.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We have lots of room to share! We live in a single family home, not attached to other homes. The private bedroom is furnished with a queen bed, small desk and dresser. The traveller will have a private bathroom as well. All common areas of the house and yard and laundry room are accessible. Non smokers only, please.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We live in a great little walkable town, Winter Garden. Shops, restaurants and community activities are a short 5-10 minute walk from the house, as is access to a multi-use trail for biking, skating, walking, running. We have bicycles you can borrow. It is 20 minutes drive to downtown Orlando. The Orlando area is home to the big theme parks - DisneyWorld, Universal, Seaworld, but also so much more! There is a great 'foodie' scene here, and a variety of cultural experiences.

    One of our favorite things to do in summer is visit the many freshwater springs. We are 75 minutes from the closest beach. We do have another guest bedroom and may have some friends or family come to visit while you are here as well. We would welcome any drivers licensed in their home countries to use the car if we do not need to drive during the time requested or we can try to arrange to drive you.

    While we work full time, the traveller will need to be okay with being alone during the workday. We also sometimes rent out a room to medical students who need a place for a few weeks at a time. We love having guests from all over! We jokingly call our house 'Hotel O'Brien'
