Loving care by experienced caregiver and house sitter. Preferably long term sits

About this sitter

Nature lover. I need to walk outside everyday, swim as often as possible and exercise. Herbs harvester and user.
Passionate about sustainable living, have lived and helped around at a few eco places already.

I'm a driver since 20 years, currently without my own car. I don't smoke, nor drink strong alcohol. I speak fluent English and French and I would like to learn Spanish.

My job now is Translator, English language teacher and Pilates & Fitness instructor. These jobs allow me to travel and have income. Previously I was travelling & working in different countries and have learned many things which are useful while taking care of a property. (for ex. I've been a yacht deckhand and stewardess, tourists' resident and host, housekeeper, waitress, tea house assistant, care giver, nanny).

During evenings I read and write.
I am vegetarian, use mostly natural cosmetics, and try to avoid producing plastic waste.

I've been always interested in the different Natures & Cultures (especially arts like music and dance) and in the interior design aesthetics. Thus exploring new spaces is very inspiring for me.
And it feels natural being able to take care of someone's home the best way I can.

I enjoy bicycle riding on small distances, just around the neighborhood. I really appreciate that.

Since I started pet sitting occasionally, I know that animals are life teachers and soul healers. And I wish all animals on the planet were happy, free, loved and understood.

Why they want to house sit

I used to travel a lot until 2015. That time my way was to find a job with an accommodation and stay a few months or longer at every place. Because what is priceless in travelling for me, is to get to sink in a community, participate in the culture and learn local arts.

Once I discovered how amazing companions are dogs... I have been travelling as a pet sitter in my country.
That way I've discovered how beautiful is my country :)
Only...too cold for me during winters.

If I'm going somewhere, it means there's more sunshine than in Poland. So my destinations are the sunny ones :)

Their experience

I have been pet and house sitting since about 7 years now.
And I always learn new things everytime.
I was living in many different places and sorts of houses. Thus I am used to deal with stoves, different water installations or small repairs etc.
My gardening skills are modest but as I love plants it comes naturally to me and I am very keen to learn more about plants' care.

Thanks to these opportunities I met Loba, Flora, Baks, Masha, Baileys, and many more animals and people.
One farm has become a friendly home, where I was participating in building a straw and bale house, taking care of horses, children and have run miles with these (usually 7 or more) Border Collies in the woods around :)

All these animals and people have a big place in my heart and are my masters on that life journey.

What can they bring to the assignment

Care, tidiness, responsibility, truthfulness, joy.
Long walks with dogs :)
Long cuddles to cats who like it :)
I'm sure there are plenty of possible exchange ideas, but they usually come out naturally.
