I am a help desk analyst (hospital setting) but have been working in my first chosen career as an Early Childhood Educator as a preschool teacher and an after school care teacher. I am a mom of grown girls (and now I am a grandma too). I am also married to Ken. Ken is an environmental designer doing freelance work in environmental communications. We offer the entire package for those looking for responsible house sitters. I clean, organize, cook, bake, garden, do computer troubleshooting/training. Ken also does design. He has done construction work for over years and can handle all forms of home repairs and renovations. We have been roomies, house sitters and pet sitters in the last years and we are quite comfortable around house pets. All of our housemates have been more than satisfied with our work as well as our companionship. We always leave our "homes" in just a little happier, prettier state. We are currently in a semi-retirement mode having just moved to the Vancouver area from Edmonton. Neither of us smoke. We rarely drink. We have no pets. Looking forward to hearing from you, Denise and Ken Scharen
