Retired early from elementary teaching, ready to travel and help you do the same!

About this sitter

In June 2025, I retired early at the age of 55 from elementary teaching. My plan was in place to live in Ecuador and I made that happen. Having downsized and learning to live the nomad life I am looking forward to traveling and helping others to do the same by taking care of their home and pets.

Why they want to house sit

Housesitting brings me too beautiful places and spaces while helping others by caring for their home and their pets. Well, I am living a bit of a nomad life housesitting affords me opportunities to explore different cities, states and countries

Their experience

Yes, I am an experienced Housesitter. While putting myself through college, I was a nanny and worked in catering as well as dead house and pet sitting often. Over the years I have helped friends and others when opportunities have presented themselves. May through July 2026 I am housesitting either for pay or and trade for care for home and pets. That is rather informal in the sense of through recommendations and connections that I have and not yet through a website or service until now.

What can they bring to the assignment

What I bring to house and pet sitting is respect for those who own the home and the home itself that I am occupying. I pride myself on making a very low impact on the home as I travel light and appreciate being outside where I would be as much as possible. My father taught me well… Leave it cleaner than you found it. I apply that to many experiences and especially to being in a home that belongs to others.
