About occupants
HOUSEMATE:
- Living with me (Gardanya, 22 y/o) and sweet baby Chinnu (cat, 3 y/o)
- Blak, queer, very socially minded
- Work in a youth homelessness refuge 2 days a week, freelance disability advocate and policy work from home otherwise. Full-time social work student
- When at home usually doing embroidery, playing music, painting, generally doing art
- Autistic and ADHD. Please be aware that I have a support worker over on Fridays to help with errands/chores
- Value my alone time but I’m very open to new friends, hanging out, I’m pretty much always laughing and doing little activities at home so more than happy for you to join in
- Away visiting family every second weekend so you’ll have the house to yourself on a regular basis
- My partner lives close by and is over somewhat often (though very happy to discuss changes to this need be), if he is over quite a bit in a month he contributes to bills and chores
Compatible people
I'm looking for someone who is kind, empathetic and considerate of each other's needs and preferences. I typically like to keep to myself but I do enjoy lowkey socialising time. I prefer someone who is on the quieter side, and who keeps communal spaces neat and tidy. Friends are welcome. I'm very keen for non-confrontational and open communication to ensure things run smoothly for all. Not a hard preference but prefer someone who is working and/or studying as I sometimes work from home.
Description of pets
Very friendly little guy, loves all people and pets and will demand pats when in communal areas. No history of any aggression and is pretty quirky, loves to play and jump around.
