Need help with iCloud and Notes app

I recently helped my roommate update his iPhone to iCloud. He shares an iTunes account with his spouse for app, movies, etc. The spouse already had icloud. Stupid me, when I set up his phone I used the iTunes account for his icloud account, and everything kinda merged, which isn't the main problem. I made him a new icloud account with his name so he could use it to sync all his items.

He wants to keep his notes separate. When I try to deleted the icloud account from his phone, it will delete the notes. I know how to keep the contacts etc to stay on the phone.

I set him up a separate user account on my MBA and we are backed up there, also.

I just can't figure out how to save the notes on his iphone and then use the new icloud account to sync it and keep it.

Any guesses?

 

I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand how to do this. Forgive my simplicity!
