Students: How to live (basically) rent-free close to campus!
Are you a university student struggling to find affordable housing and flexible employment that fits your busy schedule? We might have the perfect solution for you. With JoeyCo and the right setup, you can essentially live rent-free! Read on!
Let’s imagine you're a college student in Marin County, CA. You're excited about your studies and eager to make the most of your experience, but there's one big problem: housing is expensive, both on and off campus. You're worried about how you'll afford a place to live while also keeping up with your coursework and other commitments. That's where JoeyCo comes in – we're here to help you find a supportive living arrangement that fits your budget and your busy schedule.
The Joey Solution: Affordable Housing and Flexible Work
First things first, let’s explain who exactly is a Joey?
As a Joey, you'll have two roles with your Host:
An employee, paid by your Host for the hours you work on tasks to support them and their household
A tenant who pays the Host rent each month
Here's an example of how it works:
Let's say you're a student at College of Marin in Kentfield, CA. You've found the perfect Host through JoeyCo – a retired teacher who lives just a few miles from campus. The Host offers a comfortable private room and dedicated bathroom for $1,750 per month, which is a steal compared to the pricey dorms and off-campus apartments in the area.
In exchange for this affordable rent, you agree to work for your Host for 20 hours per week at a rate of $22 per hour. Your tasks might include helping with grocery shopping, light housekeeping, and providing conversation during meals – all things that fit easily into your schedule and look good on your resume.
Now, let's do the math:
$22/hour × 80 hours per month (20 hours/week) = $1,760
Your monthly pre-tax earnings from working as a Joey completely cover your rent, allowing you to live affordably while focusing on your studies and personal growth.
