We seek a single woman as house sitter for our home in the foothills of Northern California. We need a woman who lives in the vicinity of the northbay, as we must meet several times before we can confirm arrangement. We desire an individual woman (non smoking/drug/alcohol) to take care of a one-bedroom passive solar home on 11 acres. We have deer, rabbits and other critters that are natural to the area. We need presence, minimal care of cacti and conscious clean use of home. We have no pets. We live in a rural area so the best candidate is someone who likes to be solitary, a writer or meditator or someone who loves their privacy. We are 30 minutes from the majestic and famous wine country of Calistoga and Napa Valley. We are 10 minutes from a small shopping center. We charge for utilities the sitter uses due to our limited income and the costs we incur. Therefore, the sitter is required to pay electricity, propane, internet etc. . Please only contact us If you have excellent references. Do NOT contact us if you are not a woman and you do not live within 2 or 3 hours of Napa valley. We are looking for a housecarer who is living near enough to meet before the home care begins. Thank you. We anticipate departing mid to late January 2017.
