"No one" can buy groceries for $15/day... really, my dude? Are you that sure? Because last time I checked, it's still quite possible. Also, you want references from previous work as a house cleaner or a COOK?? One, nobody with professional cooking experience is going to cook you 18 meals each week in exchange for a shitty little room. And two, there are many, many people who are super neat and organized, great at keeping a private house clean, without having had official work experience. 🤦
