My sitter details

My statement

Non-smoking, non-drinking, no-drug, Holy Spirit-filled middle-aged female Christian, unpublished writer.  An Alabama farm girl who's also lived in the city.  I've raised my five children, taken care of sick and elderly for many years.  Just house sitting without taking care of people is a new adventure for me.  I am allergic to cigarette smoke, perfumes, aerosole sprays. I don't have a problem with tending to farm or outside animals or smaller inside animals such as guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, birds, lizards and fish.  (When you've raised a houseful of kids, you have had them all.)  Don't want to tend to snakes or spiders.  PLEASE!

Would like to stay at a house that is furnished with a piano/keyboard since I am also composing songs/music.    Also a house with telephone and internet service would be great.  2-3 months minimum job assignment

Why I want to house sit

My children are grown with their own families and I no longer have a husband so I am free to travel or sit still.  I can be classified as homeless because I don't have a home of my own.  I tend to make my home wherever I can find a place to hang my clothes and hook up my computer.  I don't like piling up on friends and family even though at times it's been a necessity.  I don't know yet where I am to settle permanently.  Until I am published and able to buy my own place, I might as well be homeless in nice homes as to be on the streets, in a shelter, or taking advantage of family.  I made that decision while staying alone in a four storied home in Riverside, AL.  Everywhere I go on God's good earth, there are wonderful people to meet and new stories to tell.

My experience

Yes.  I just finished a 4 month stay in a 20 room plus 7 baths executive home.   Previous experiences have been staying in homes of elderly and taking care of everything that they couldn't tend to themselves.  No matter who opened their homes to me, I didn't sit idly by and let them wait on me.  I believe God called me to be a servant to the people.  I can provide references on request.

What I can bring to the assignment

Me, Myself and I with the offer to develop a new friendship.  Also my computer and keyboard where no piano is available.  Down-to-earth yet heavenly minded and a desire to help others.  Joy even on days when things don't look so perky and happy.  Consolation and comfort for those who might be worried.  Assurance even when it may appear that I am not assured of anything.  An unction to function in whatever area I am called upon.

Years of experiences of taking care of people, places and things.
