I am presently looking to relocate to the DC area or within driving distance of children and grandchildren in Arlington area. I experienced cut backs from my position as an Executive Director for a local non profit in May and am making the decision to 'go forward with my life' and make some changes. Currently living in the Chicago/western suburb area in a home that I own. Would love to assist you with your home and any pets so that I may take the time to interview for job prospects in the DC area. I have French bulldogs that will NOT be with me when I house sit. I have had the great fortune of owning cats, dogs and parakeets in the past. Again, I will not be bringing any pets with me. But am capable of sitting for yours. I have two children in the Arlington area. My daughter has a family and my son has been in the DC area for two years now. I am open to answering any of your questions, thanks.
