- Hands-On Assistance: Provide practical support as needed, such as watering plants, caring for pets (including chickens!), and keeping storage or garage spaces tidy and functional.
- Problem Solving: Approach challenges with a calm, can-do attitude — identifying solutions proactively rather than simply reporting issues.
