Travel adventures and caring for your home while you're away.

About this sitter

I'm a fun-loving artist, environmental steward (BA in Geography & Environmental Studies), and mom who loves making and keeping a "space" that feels welcome, cozy, and "home". I'd enjoy the opportunity to take care of your home while you are away. My son is now 19 (how did that happen!), loves his scooter, bike, and all of his music instruments, which include a piano, saxophone, guitar, and violin. We wouldn't need to bring all of them at once, but hopefully there's room for him to practice one while we're there. Sometimes I may be available as a solo sitter, for shorter periods, other times I would want my son to be there with me. He would also be able to help out with chores, outdoor work, etc. Our lives have recently changed and we're looking forward to travelling and experiencing new places and cultures. We love books, bikes, music, good food, and, of course, travelling.

Why they want to house sit

I'm looking for the opportunity to experience living in different locations around the world while beginning a new season in my life. Hopefully, a season full of exploration, wonder, joy, and adventure. I'm interested in where you live, what the culture is, the geography, and why you call it home. I actually grew up in the Air Force, travelling with my family frequently, even getting the opportunity to live in Germany! I believe that lifestyle planted an exploration bug in me, which is why I still love to travel and even majored in Geography.

Their experience

while I haven't experienced housesitting yet (will you be the first?), I have stayed at many Airbnb's, earning high ratings for care and treatment of their spaces, and owned my own beautiful home, improving the interior design and extensive garden with native plantings.

What can they bring to the assignment

I'll bring my enthusiasm for experiencing your home, your community, your neighbors and a sense of peace knowing that while you're away someone is caring for your home. I can also bring my love for interior design and be excited to help you 'refresh' your space if you are someone who doesn't like to do that sort of thing. Thanks for taking the time to find out who we are.
