M: I really don’t know what to do tiffs summer. I can’t afford to just sit around, and there doesn’t seem to be any jobs available.
W: Why don’t you try housesitting? Last summer my friend Margaret housesat for the Dodds while they went away on vacation. Mr. Dodd hired Margaret to stay in their house because he didn’t want it left empty.
M: You mean the Dodds paid Margaret just to live in their house?
W: It wasn’t that easy. She had to mow the lawn and water the house plants. And when Eric housesat for Dr. Cohen, he had to take care of her pets.
M: Housesitting sounds like a good job. I guess it is a little like babysitting— except you’re taking care of a house instead of children.
W: The student employment office still has a few jobs posted.
M: Do I just have to fill out an application?
W: Margaret and Eric had the interview with the homeowners and provide three references each.
M: That seems like a lot of trouble for a summer job.
W: well, the homeowners want some guarantee that they can trust tile housesitter. You know they want to make sure you’re not the type who’ll throw wild parties in their house, or move a group of friends in with you.
M: Housesitters who do that sort of thing probably aren’t paid then.
W: Usually they’re paid anyway just because the homeowners don’t want to make a fuss. But if the homeowner reported it, then the housesitter wouldn’t be able to get another job. So why don’t you apply?
M: Yeah, I think I will.
