The owner has now sold and I am returning to Sitting. I am flexible and adaptable. I do not smoke and drink rarely. I live simply and quietly. I bring and use as many of my own sundry items eg linen and kitchen items. No requirement for cupboard/wardrobe storage. I am super conscious of energy consumption and have little interest in having guests. I have high respect for the privacy of your home and the welfare of your pet/s. I look forward to the opportunity to assist you with your needs. I have written References of many years with Aussiehousesitters (see photos), phone referees and a Police Clearance/working with vulnerable people card and fully vaccinated. Screenshots are from Aussihousesitters, with which I've completed the majority of my Sits. Please see Letter of Recommendation from most recent rural Sit/Tenancy in Preston Tasmania.
