I am a fit, active artist who spent many years as a film production manager on the west coast of Canada but now I travel the world and paint - a gypsy at heart! I am also a Pilates and Yoga teacher and love being active and exploring the countryside - with your dog by my side! While travelling I look after houses and pets in a variety of countries.
I am very professional, resourceful and capable of dealing with all types of house situations from supervising staff in a French chateau to looking after a self sufficient cottage in the tropics. With a background in hotels and resorts as well as film production I enjoy assisting in properties that include guests. I am an experienced sailor and have lived in many tropical locations so am familiar with solar, water catchment and battery systems. I am capable of taking care of swimming pools too.
I am very familiar with life in Europe as I am often in France visiting my son who lives there. I speak reasonable French and Spanish and have a EU passport as well as my Canadian. I have owned homes myself and so am very aware of the responsibilities and will take great care of your property and, of course, tons of love and attention for your pets. I had many pets when my sons were young and although I can't have pets with my nomadic lifestyle I have the fun of loving lots of different ones as I look after them at house sits. Another of my passions is gardening so I would love to look after your gardens - plants and vegetables - as I don't have my own anymore
I do not smoke, drink or have parties and I am very self sufficient and independent. Most of my painting is done outside and I am very clean and tidy inside. A very capable and resourceful person who can cope with any situation without panic. After years of filming in all sorts of locations there is nothing I have not already had to deal with before!!
In my gypsy lifestyle I have lived all through the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America. I also travelled and lived throughout Europe, USA, Canada and some of the South Pacific. I have excellent references and a criminal record check.
