$180/week•30 year old woman
Hi, I'm Jennifer (she/them) and I'm looking in 2024 to share an organised and homely place with up to two people (preferably women) in the inner western suburbs of Melbourne for at least a year! As your roommate I would contribute to keeping the home tidy and relaxed, because that's the best environment to rest and for me to expand creatively too.
When I'm not reveling in stories, characters and creative endeavours, among which include drawing, writing and learning the guitar (again), you'll find me zipping about on rollerblades, my bike, or feet when it comes to swing dancing. In my element I have a silly sense of humour and can't resist some singing (in tune, I promise) while doing chores. Otherwise, I am reserved and prefer a quiet space, so I'm conscious of noise and will always check with you what's acceptable.
I work part time as a marketer at a business accountancy, moving towards web development programming, and the rest of the time as a freelancing illustrator with steady gigs the last 6 years. My employment covers the budget outlined, however, so the risk of lacking income is low.
✨ The reasons I'll make an ideal housemate:
- I am organised, everything is sorted in boxes and has a place, and I prefer rosters for chores. I am still flexible with making adjustments, but I operate better with an agreed framework.
- Always looking for small improvements to make life easier, like setting up temporary shelving for a less messy pantry. I like keeping things simple and easy to remember.
- Frugal and budget savvy, so you can expect the bills paid on time.
- Clear communication and respecting boundaries. I aim to foster an honest space.
- Most of my activities are quiet; the only one that is more involved is laughing and making voices while playing games with friends online once or twice a week. We don't go much past 10:30pm, however.
- I don't drink alcohol except for special occasions and don't smoke or partake in other recreational drugs. I respect sensible use of the first two but would rather avoid being around the third, save for medicinal use.
- Fond of cats! Unfortunately, dogs are too energy-intensive and loud, so I can't handle them, sorry.
- LGBTQ+ friendly and considerate of other cultures and beliefs.
🏠 What I will really need:
- Space for a desk so I can do my freelancing work. I have a single bed I can bring, I'd rather save on space in my bedroom.
- Patience for the low energy and symptoms of depression and anxiety. I have all the tools and support to handle it. My social comprehension is a bit clumsy as times, so please understand if I ask for clarification for obvious things.
💜 Otherwise, great to have would be:
- Somewhere to store my bike.
- Ability to invite friends over occasionally for dinner, drawing or board game activities. Parties are too intense for me.
- Space to park a small hatchback car. Street is fine, so long as it's reliable.
- Dietary limitations are a can of worms (not literally), but to summarise it's gluten free (non-caeliac). I cook for myself, but should we want to share meals, some planning and consideration would be awesome.
If you resonate with most or all of these, then please get in touch and let's arrange a meetup to get to know each other!
