Hi,
We are twin sisters from Germany and are at the end of our medical studies or nearly at the end. Before we start working as doctors we would like to spend some time to live in a different area.
Our Experience :
I was an Au pair in Ireland after school and not only sittet the house but two lovely children for 7 months. I really enjoyed that. My sister was traveling through new Zealand by working and living on farms. So we both have a little experience with taking care of a house and the garden.
Our family had a dog with whom we grew a up. We both want a dog in the future (I look at every dog on the street and want to take him with me :D). Also we were riding horses as teenagers, so we know a little about the handling as well.
I actually sometimes enjoy pets more than humans. That's why I think house sitting with some lovely animals would be perfect for a relaxing time in a new environment before starting to work full time.
