Activities & Shift

**Our Routine and Expectations**

Our daily routine follows a flexible schedule, with a collective expectation for all volunteers to commence their day by 9 AM. Responsibilities include housekeeping, organization, and occasional food preparation. Given Carl's health concerns, we seek someone who can provide gentle reminders and companionship to ensure his well-being, especially during outdoor activities.

Rules

House Rules:
1. Please clean up after yourself in the bathroom and kitchen.
2. Avoid bringing food into the bedrooms to prevent attracting mice, considering our country setting.
3. We aim to have meals together whenever possible.
4. Please prioritize Carl and the well-being of our pets, as they are central to our lives.
