Hello Homeowner,
I am now retired and very much enjoy exploring new locations around the world. I am 74 years young and in excellent health. I am a responsible non-smoker who would love to take care of your home and pets for you when your life requires you to be away.
For the past 15 years I have house-sat mostly in the Lake Chapala area of Mexico. In the past I have house & pet sat in Ajijc, Merida, San Miguel de Allende, Guadalajara, Mexico City, Guatemala, La Floresta, Ajijic, and several other homes around Lake Chapala. Previous years in New Mexico, Oregon and California.
I have been a homeowner for the past thirty-five years, and have owned over a dozen homes that I've lived in and renovated. I currently own a home in Macon County, North Carolina. I have also sold real estate in both Virginia and Maine.
I enjoy house cleaning, (sounds a little unusual but I really do) renovating old homes, painting, (would you like a bedroom repainted?) gardening and yard work. I love all animals but am not able to have them where I now live. I miss not having any pets in my life and therefore, I welcome the opportunity to pamper your pets with attention, take them for walks, and spoil them with affection.
I love to travel, and have visited and lived in many states and countries worldwide. I have studied foreign languages during home-stays in both Mexico and Guatemala, and I have volunteered to teach English in France, Nepal and Mexico and Bolivia.
I am neat, handy, mature, quiet and responsible, organized, trustworthy, creative and financially independent. My two daughters are now grown and I have two grandchildren who I visit regularly in Maine and California.
I am available to take excellent care of your home, plants, garden, and pets while you are away on vacation, or just need to be out of town. I will consider medium and long term assignments, and have excellent references. I know how important your home and pets and plants are to you, and will treat yours as if they were my own.
Thank you for your consideration, and I wish you the best of luck in finding just the 'perfect' caretaker for YOU!
