About this sitter

I am a retired performing artist and film director that has spent the last 10 years in the desert learning the art of composting and sustainable living and writing. I'm a quiet and respectful person of integrity so after 30 years in Hollywood, nature is very important to me. Although my time producing has given me great assets of organizational skills and the ability to adapt to almost any situation.

Why they want to house sit

I miss traveling. When working I traveled a lot. I love being home and writing and creating but there is nothing like a change of scenery to inspire new creations.

Their experience

I am very experienced and have been doing some sort of care-taking since being an au pair in France in the 80s. Also I've been a homeowner myself so I'm very respectful of utilities and one's belongings; plus being in film/theater for the past 30 years has given me many tools as well. In film we must reconstruct to perfection after each shot so it is my nature to keep things as they were. I can keep an environment pristine while remembering where all was placed. I'm a good scout so I'll leave your home as clean or cleaner than I found it. Mostly, my experience comes from living. I love beauty and home. They are way up there in my priorities.

What can they bring to the assignment

Therefore what I can bring to the assignment is a loving, clean (spiritually and physically) environment, plus quiet joy and life. I think there is nothing more depressing than a shut in and up, dark home. A house needs life to keep its home status. Lastly the photo was the last joke between a good friend and myself. She was trying to make me feel better about her getting old.
(Please note: I am fairly new to this site. I've only done one sit to date however I'm willing to do a police check or forward what I have from other jobs.

Testimonials

Fantastic care for our cat and house

Michelle was a great person to have in our home. She was a loving, respectful and spiritual caretaker to our kitty (and house). She kept us informed with pics and videos and made us feel so comfortable that everything was in good hands. The whole process before during and after was perfect. We were so happy to share our house and pet with Michelle. She’s welcome back anytime (echoed by Ms Lanka the Cat).

Absolutely fantastic.

How lucky were we?! This was our first experience with Mind My House, what a great decision, it works really well! Michele came and stayed a month in our home with our three cats. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing that our home, the Retreat and cats were all looked after brilliantly. I think the cats wouldn't have complained if we had stayed away another month!! The house was clean & tidy but more importantly the cats were relaxed and calm all thanks to Michele and her calm manner. She seemed to like it here as well, so result. We cannot praise Michele enough, we just hope she is available for our next trip!!! Thank you. x
