I've been thinking the whole day what to contribute to @steemgigs. I came up with an idea already and just polishing things up. Mine might sounds crazy just like your examples above. But as you said, @steemgigs is something you can offer from thinking out-of-the-box.
Anyhow, hopefully you'll convice your father to stay with you. He'll be your added strength and vice versa.
You take care always. God bless.
