Looking for Housing
Hello! I’m a swarthmore student who does not drive looking for housing near campus. I have experience as a live-in caretaker, and have worked with children, aging family members, and a wide variety of pets, including backyard chickens. I can cook, bake, clean, garden, and do yard work and basic repairs. I especially pride myself on my culinary skills and my baking. I do not smoke or drink, but I do come with a betta fish and we are a package deal. I have asthma, and am severely allergic to cats and smoke of any kind. We can discuss rent, and how trade of services like cooking and cleaning may factor into a deal that works for both of us! Please email me at lfitch1@swarthmore.edu
