Job Description
Housing: Rent-free in exchange for light personal assistance and overnight presence
Availability: Starting June 2026
ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY
I'm James, a nutrition professor at Colorado State University who lives independently in a modern apartment in Old Town Fort Collins. I'm looking for a responsible, kind person to share my home as part of a cultural exchange arrangement.
In exchange for rent-free housing, shared meals, and a weekly allowance for personal expenses, you'd help with light personal assistance and be present overnight most nights.
WHAT THIS INVOLVES
Light personal assistance:
Helping manage errands, groceries, and mail
Keeping shared spaces tidy
Occasional scheduling or coordination support
Light household tasks as needed
This isn't a full-time job. I'm not looking for someone to work every day. Just someone willing to pitch in and help keep things running smoothly.
Overnight presence:
Be present overnight (roughly 10 PM to 6 AM) at least five nights per week
Most nights are quiet and uninterrupted
I have a spinal cord injury and use a wheelchair. I have a care team that helps me during the day. Occasionally something comes up at night and I might need a hand with something simple like adjusting a blanket or repositioning. You're not providing care—just a calm, reliable presence.
WHAT'S PROVIDED
Rent-free private bedroom in a modern apartment
Shared meals and groceries
Weekly allowance for personal expenses
Access to transportation as needed
Support for educational or cultural opportunities in the area
ABOUT ME AS A HOUSEMATE
I'm quiet, respectful, and genuinely enjoy getting to know people from different backgrounds. I love good food, music, books, and meaningful conversation. I work full-time at CSU and spend most of my days on campus or working from home. I'm looking for someone I'd enjoy living with—not just someone filling a role.
ABOUT THE SPACE
Modern 2-bedroom, 2-bath apartment in a secure building
Prime Old Town location, steps from Washington Park and Colorado State University
Your own bedroom and shared bathroom
Fully furnished common areas with large kitchen
Private balcony with mountain views
Secure building with elevator, bike storage, and underground parking
WHO THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT FOR
Someone visiting the U.S. who wants an authentic cultural exchange experience
A responsible, easy-going person comfortable sharing a home
Someone comfortable around disability
Someone curious about American university life, nutrition, or health and wellness
This is not a good fit for someone just looking for free housing. I'll meet with applicants by video before making any decisions.
HOW TO APPLY
Tell me a bit about yourself—where you're from, what brings you to the U.S., and why this opportunity appeals to you. I'm happy to answer questions and see if we'd be a good fit.
