American Midwest Mother & Daughter looking for opportunity abroad

About this sitter

Siobhan (52) and daughter Truus (13) are a terrific package deal. We realized we're in a great place and time in our lives to explore alternative ways to experience travel. We love animals, making a house a home, caring for the outdoors, being near the water, creating art, and learning.

Why they want to house sit

We love to travel, have new experiences, and learn about other communities. I am now able to work remotely and our daughter is an avid traveler - looking to expand her horizons, learning options, and world view.

Their experience

We are homeowners with pets, fruit trees, flower beds, koi pond and an older home with regular maintenance needs. I grew up on a farm in the Midwest - which translates to having a strong work ethic, being resourceful, and knowing a thing or two about gardening and animals. In my work, I have been responsible for a major construction project, ongoing building maintenance, and promoting sustainable building practices. I have housesat for friends over the years, including one with horses, birds, and goats!

What can they bring to the assignment

You'll get a caring, tidy, fun and attentive duo. We enjoy being self-sufficient, trustworthy, and responsible. We work well on projects together such as yard work, petsitting, volunteering on neighborhood clean up days - and also baking!
