Rob Smith

My name is Rob. I moved to Canton, Georgia, in late October from Loveland, Colorado, to help care for my elderly parents. This was not a planned move, but my parents needed help. After my father’s passing in July and my mother’s recent move into a senior living facility in late October, we’re now in the process of listing their home on the market to sell. So I’m looking for a room to rent.

A little about me: I have two adult kids I’m very close to. My daughter lives in Colorado with her husband, and my son is a student at Montana State University in Bozeman. I visit them occasionally, as family is very important to me.

I’m originally from Mansfield, Ohio, and graduated from The University of Akron. I’ve been a senior graphic designer for many years, working with small businesses across the country—mainly in the home services industry. Most days, you’ll find me working at a co-working space called Thrive Coworking in the Canton and Alpharetta locations.

I live an active lifestyle—hiking, biking, and enjoying live music or local festivals whenever I can. After a year of caregiving, I’m excited to get back into those routines again.

I’m tidy and respectful, keeping my belongings organized in my space (besides food in the kitchen). I like to meal prep for a few days at a time and tend to keep things simple. I’m easy-going, friendly, and happy to chat, but I also enjoy quiet time and keeping a peaceful home environment.

If this is a good fit, I wouldn’t mind renting the room for much longer than 6 months. The rate I am looking for is from $500 to $600. The lower the rate, the better. I will be traveling back to Colorado a lot to be with my daughter more now, since I am not caregiving any longer. The more money that I have, the more that I can visit my daughter.

NOTE: I did rent a room for a few months, but I am leaving it because the house is very unclean everywhere in the home.

Thank you for taking a moment to get to know me—I’d love to connect if you think I might be a good fit for your place!
