About this sitter

75 years young, German national, retired sports/English teacher, western riding instructor, massage therapist, owner of several wooden sailing ships (all restored single handed), crew/captain on a charter catamaran in the Caribbean ...
10 years ago I had to change my life completely due to a victorious battle with cancer, which left me with a partial facial Parese, my right ear missing and my left eye blind, but it is not a big handicap. It is amazing how mind and body can adapt!
Since 2017 I am doing long term house sits in Europe, (Spain, France and Germany), because I cannot go back to my Caribbean boat life and feel too young to just retire.
My house sits have all been in remote settings, often with lots of animals and big properties, so being alone for long periods of time is NOT a problem for me, just the opposite!
The last 3 years I took care of the property of a friend of mine, who spent 1/2 year in India, She then asked me, after leaving her Indian business for good, to move in with her 89 year old mother, who sadly died 7 months later. The family asked me to stay on in their family chateau/vineyard as 'guard dog' - they had lots of valuables there. Now, that the chateau has been sold I am looking for an other long term assignment

Why they want to house sit

75 is what the passport says
