I'm a retired educator from the US, a seasoned world traveler, non-smoker, quiet and very responsible. I owned my own home for decades, so I understand the importance of taking good care of property. I love animals, and have had my own dogs and cats as pets. My Spanish fluency is quite good, so I can get around easily as needed. I have lived abroad before (in Thailand and Mexico), and I can handle myself in foreign environments. I love Spain and want to absorb more of the local culture. My house-caring experience to date has been only in the US and for up to a couple of weeks. I can offer many personal references about my responsibility, honesty and integrity.
