| Title: | John Dunaway |
| Description: | Hello! I'm John Dunaway and I've recently relocated to Austin to write my dissertation in Clinical Psychology. My work experience includes two years of live-in home management (HI and CO) and I was the personal chef, tutor, and all around manager of the estates. My experience also includes 4 years of direct care with seniors and psychiatrically challenged individuals. As a psychotherapist, ESL specialist, and chef I bring a lot to the table. It is my hope to find a good match in an upscale neighborhood where both the host and I work well together and respect each others' integrity. My character is dynamic and solid. I offer a compassionate philosophy of life and an upbeat attitude. My personality is dynamic and multifaceted. Thank you very much. Sincerely, John Dunaway (512) 288-7912 |
