I am an independent, mature, responsible woman and experienced house-sitter who loves animals and plants. I am presently working as a voice coach at a major acting school in Edinburgh. Hence relocating from Brisbane Australia to the UK.
I have been a home owner in the past, during 33 years residence in the UK. and I appreciate the need to care for and maintain a home. I have been house-minding for over 6 years now, and can provide excellent references. I hold a Blue Card for working with young people, and therefore have had a recent (Australian) police check. Now that I am based in Scotland, I also have a Disclosure Scotland certificate so that I can work with young and vulnerable people..
Because of my lifestyle, I cannot have animals of my own, so I love to take care of them, and I love the company they provide. Big dogs, little dogs, cool cats and cute cats, they seem to like me as much as I like them - with affection and respect.
As a matter of fact I also like fish, they can be great conversationalists. I also love gardening, so although I am not up to tearing round mowing lawns in the midday sun, I'm very capable when it comes to watering and tending plants. References available on this site, and more on request.
