There are occasional family gatherings, and if you like being part of a warm, lively environment, you’ll fit right in.
What You’ll Be Doing

- Tending to basic grocery organization and occasionally receiving deliveries
- Maintaining hygiene and safety standards throughout the home (especially in these times, it matters more than ever)
