免费创业计划 – Homestay Business

适合人员：退休人员

启动资金：０

其它要求：有住房在学校附近

 

友情提示：免费创业计划，失败概不负责

 

前言： A lot of retirees lost their investments such as 401K etc. during this recession. I hope this 免费创业计划 – Homestay Business, will help them a little bit for their financial situation. I first post it on 投资理财 when I read someone post retiring plan. I know one retired policeman who hosts several students. Also I know some international students. That is how I got this idea. I think it is better to post it on 创业天地。

 

Here is the post.

 

缺钱和寂寞可以退休的一种方式

 

现在外国大小留学生很多， 找Homestay的供不应求。Like this one “$875 Host Families for International High School Students Needed” and this one “HOST FAMILIES NEEDED FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ($675-$800)”. You can host up to four students if you have an extra furnished bedroom(s) in your home. Here are some requirements:

1. Reside in or around school area.
2. Provide a clean, furnished, private bedroom w/a bed or a shared bedroom w/two beds. Bedroom has a place to study with a desk/chair & internet access.
3. Home is nearby public transportation, and traveling time to school is no more than an hour.
4. Provide 2 meals per day with self-served breakfast & dinners - 7 days a week.
5. Background check is available upon requested.

 

You can plan ahead if you 缺钱 or 寂寞 or both.

I know one retired policeman who hosts several students and also does volunteer work for police department.

 

一起回答几个询问

 

１．                     到哪里去找homestay  students.

Craigslist/housing wanted

２．                     我有什么经验

我没有经验, 但我知道一些情况。象我提到的退休警察， 他非常nice 而且非常有爱心, 乐与助人。有一中国小留学生， 来这里几个月， 换了三家host family (最后一家是family come back).   找不到host family， 只好住在我的出租房, 正好有个sublease. 有个Italy student contacted to me and want to sublease one room from my rental house. He already signed contract with one host family through school. The school told him he cannot cancel the contract. After he stayed at host family for one week, he contacted me again. He does not like the host family and he wants to lose the one month rent. One Saudi Arabia student stayed at hotel for one month and still cannot find homestay, but this guy determined to find one and he asked me to help him through a friend.

３．                     Cooking meals

It should be very simple for breakfast. For dinner, I do not know. For中国小留学生,

He seldom ate at host family.

 

有关中国小留学生, 我想说几句：

1.      我们和他们无亲无故，我们可以帮助他们很多。

2.      他们有一些缺点，但谁又没有呢。

3.      他们正在成长和学习过程中， 他们也在吸取经验和教训。

4.      我接处到两位中国小留学生， 他们的进步都是很大的。

5.      一位中国小留学生因为第二次在屋里抽烟被我赶出后，和他又有两次见面，感觉他进步很大。

6.      我和他无亲无故，所以我每次都要说，要好好学习，天天向上。少抽烟，少喝可乐，最好戒掉。要刻苦，要努力。钱并不是万能的，等等。

7.      后来的两次见面，他都没有抽烟。而且他在准备考一所更好的学校。

 

Be cool and do my best to be cool!
