Seeking a roommate

I'm considering putting an ad in the newspaper in hopes of finding a roommate. Taking care of one's house solo is very challenging. By challenging I mean it SUCKS!  I'm used to the laundry, cleaning, taking care of all the kids' stuff, however there are physical house related things that I am ill prepared to do.

Wanted - Roommate for short single mother of two.
Requirements:

  • Must mow lawn and attend to any landscaping issues including but not limited to: pulling weeds, mulching, watering lawn, and anything else that needs to be done to make neighbors not shake their heads in disgust when they see the lawn.  
  • Must be tall enough to change light bulbs. A step ladder and light bulbs will be provided. 
  • Must do additional household things such as changing furnace filer, set and adjust thermostat according to season. Related duties will be assigned when the home owner figures out what else has to be done in a house. 
  • Must take care of the homeowner's car (i.e. wash every few months, vacuum out snack particles and various pieces of trash littered about by the homeowner's children, remember maintenance items such as oil changes, balancing tires, etc. and take the care to dealership for aforementioned car related tasks. 
  • Cooking and meal preparation is not a requirement but bonus compensation will be provided for  this service. 
Benefits:
  • An empty room in the basement. Roommate must stay in their area unless summoned to perform one of the above mentioned duties. 
  • Free wi-fi. 
  • Full size washer and dryer (detergent not included).
  • Occasional opportunities to interact with the delightful homeowner. 
If interested, please submit a DNA sample. Interviews will require performance of one or more of job duties.
