We are very close to NYC. Just a 10 minute ride and you are at World trade center. There is also a lot of stores/restaurants/supermarket nearby. So if you live here, you will be in the middle of everything and everything you need is 1 minute away.

We have security camera and secure locks at the door so everyone is safe. Your role is to keep the place clean so the place will be clean. We provide cooling and heating so you won't feel uncomfortable.

I could sometimes take you to shopping too when I go. Lastly, there's a lot of places looking for people to do minor work so you could find a parttime job too.

Everyone is treated equally. We will give out a general schedule and update it with minor change daily if needed. I'll contact you via message if things change daily. Your schedule is mostly in the morning and you will do the workly mostly independently. You will live with other volunteers so you won't be left alone or overworked. Most people finish their work in shorter them that we give them so realistically you won't be doing 25 hours of work. We put it there just incase we need more time from people that's all in case of emergency

my experience was so-so because there were things that could’ve been communicated better. i was not told i would be staying in a different house than the one listed on the profile and the house didn’t have working plumbing for the first week of my stay, so i had to walk across the street to the hosts house for cooking, laundry and using the bathroom. i am a flexible person so i didn’t mind that much but it was an inconvenience to say the least. also there were tenants that moved in later on that made a lot of noise at night and made it hard to sleep. otherwise it was a decent experience.

This is the very great experience ! Grace is very kind and welcoming. The work is really not complicated, everyone is capable of doing it. We work 5 mornings a week for about 4 hours and we have 2 days off. During this free time, we are free to do whatever we want.

Overall, it’s a good place, but for those considering working here, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• There are security cameras in all areas except the bedrooms, bathrooms, and shower, so you’ll be monitored.
• The host is not very fluent in English.
• You’ll need to thoroughly clean the shower daily, especially in the dirtiest areas (this may not be ideal for those with a sensitivity to cleanliness).
• You’ll be sharing a very small room with two other people.
• You get two days off per week, but they won’t be consecutive. (In my case, it was Monday and Friday.)

En general mi experiencia estuvo bien.
La casa se ubica a solo 10min del path que conecta con Manhattan.
Las tareas son limpieza sencilla de las áreas comunes de dos casas (cocina, baños y pasillos) y a veces también toca realizar tareas de mantenimiento de la casa o mover y organizar cosas del garaje, lo que es más pesado. El trabajo lo puedes realizar en 2 horas, pero ten en cuenta que hay ocasiones en que Grace te pide ayuda extra y te tomará más tiempo.
En el tiempo que estuve me enfermé y me lastimé un pie, Grace se preocupó por ayudarme, muchas gracias!
