The dream to live in Europe became a reality by using a similar house sitting website. We knew it was a challenge as we are a family of four. But we found a long term housesit in France!. We have sold everything in Australia and ooh la la did things change!
Back in 2018 this 4 month housesit turned into an over 2 years house sit, Then during Covid we went back to Australia, we did a few other house sits, looking after cats and large dogs, alpacas, some sheep even 2 lamas!
And now we are back where we started, looking after this lovely Chateau in France. Due to change in circumstances we are looking another adventure, maybe in another part of France or even Italy or Spain, actually we're up for any place, we're pretty flexible.
We have European passports as well as Australian.
I have been a personal trainer for 6 years. My husband Damian is a CAD draftsman / surveyor and is working from his laptop. Damian was brought up on a farm/vineyard in South Australia by Dutch parents. He is quite the handyman. He has renovated several houses , He has experience with maintaining pools , solar panels , machinery , cars , electrical work and general carpentry and now we can add septic tanks , central heating, diesel burners, sliding roof tiles, plumbing, fork lifts, tractors, quadbikes etc etc . In other words , he's just a Fixer with a new acquired taste for Bordeaux supérieur. .Even though the housesit did not come with animals, we shared a chat noir ( how french!) with our neighbours. In France it seems you end up with animals anyway. We understand it can be daunting to pick a family of four to look after your beautiful property and beloved animals but we have excellent references and are very respectful of other people's possessions. We have high standards and moral values. We hope to meet you and share our exciting stories!
Of course we welcome all long term housesits and when possible are able to take on a school holiday housesit.
Currently we are looking after a property in northern suburbs of Sydney until late 2022. If you have a long term house sit after this date please let us know.
We won't let you down!
Thank you for your time to read this. Stay safe! |
