Hello Everyone!
Im looking for a temporary living situation starting April 1st and extending to June or July - until my permanent lease begins around that time.
I am open to subleasing, month-to-month, or work trade in exchange for my stay.
A little about me: I am a recent graduate and professional in my early 30s.
I am currently "floating" while waiting for the results from job interviews (in academia), and working on PhD applications.
Currently working remotely and waiting tables.
I am quiet, clean, and respectful.
Non smoker, non partier.
I enjoy reading, gardening, biking around town, Iyengar yoga, meditation, and exploring the local parks.
I have very few personal items and do not need any furniture, although this is welcome.
I also don't have a vehicle, just my bike!
What I'm looking for: a quiet, clean room or small apartment where I can focus on my work and enjoy a peaceful spring.
My ideal situation would be with mature graduate students needing to fill a spot, or in an elderly woman or couple's home needing help with chores or gardening.
I have references for house sitting and rental history.
Since I do not have a vehicle, it is important to be within walking distance in town.
I hope to find a temporary place in South West Urbana or South East Champaign.
Ideally a place with lots of natural light, and a front porch or backyard to sit in and read (this is negotiable of course).
Work exchange offerings: I have experience as a professional "green" house cleaner using natural ingredients and do not mind offering deep cleaning services (I have respiratory issues, so a clean living environment is essential.
No mold, neglect, trash accumulation, or indoor smoking please).
I am also a professional chef and would be happy to contribute meals! Gardening is my passion and I would love to help you prepare your garden for the season.
Please message me with details of your offerings, including price, general location, and what sort of arrangement you have in mind.
I will reply with any additional information you need! If it seems like a good fit I will send my LinkedIn profile, and ask that we have a video chat and walk-through to view the room (I am currently out of state until I find a living arrangement in Chambana).
Hope to hear from you soon!
Warmly,
Elena
