Family's Message to Au Pairs and Nannies

Hello. My name is Bruce and I live outside of San Francisco and work with computers and I am in a wheelchair because I broke my neck. I saw this site on the Internet and thought you might be interested in what I'm going to tell you. First, I know you are not looking for this type of job. I would like to know if you would be interested in working for a period of at least one to three months, maybe longer and this would be starting when it works for both of us. . I’ll pay a monthly salary and room/board. I also pay for everything we do. This is a job where friendship is very important. I do not want to be somebody's patient because I'm not sick. I'd rather live with a friend. If you’re interested please respond immediately. The job is helping me with all the things I can not do. I have had some people from Germany come to work for me before and have several good friends there too. I could give you their contact information if you would like to ask them about their experience with me, my character or anything else. I am basically an alternative to an Au pair job. With me, a person helps me and doesn't have to deal with children and we speak to each other all the time. The person that helps me goes wherever I go. I like concerts, movies, nature, camping and more. I would certainly be glad to give you more details if you are interested. I can you send your number or I can correspond to you through email. My favorite music is rock, alternative rock and blues. My favorite tv shows are Six Feet Under, CSI and the X- Files. My favorite color is blue. There is an extensive description of the job at this web page. Please read it and reply with your photo if you are interested. Thanks for your time. Bruce P.S. I'm just a nice guy in a wheelchair that is looking for a fun loving person. I am positive and have a lot to offer the right person. My humor is sarcastic and positive. I'm sure once you read about me you'll have a good idea if I'm someone for you.
