More information about this house sitter

On the road in my Toyota Commuter van. Looking for housesits in South Coast NSW for March 2025 and heading north (not sure how far) after that.
I spent 2020 to 2022 volunteering with BlazeAid at Cobargo, assisting fire affected people, primarily by rebuilding fences. After a few months I took on the role of coordinating the camp - the most rewarding (& challenging) thing I haveever done. Since then I have dabbled in a bit of work and a year traveling overseas (incl. 2 Caminos, 1200km across Spain and Portugal).
I am a friendly, reliable, super clean and tidy, non-smoking, down to earth person.
I would love the opportunity to look after your home/farm and pets.
I cut my work & residential ties in Coffs Harbour in early 2020 after a 16 year stint managing projects and finances for a community organisation. Prior to that I had a short career as a forester, and have worked as a rouseabout, wool classer, fruit picker and packer, fish gutter(!!), scallop sorter, gardener, nanny, local journalist, summer holiday programme director, bookkeeper and have single handedly raised 2 boys into fine strapping young men. In short, I can turn my hand to anything!!
I have looked after properties and pets and children for many friends and acquaintances over the years. When I lived in NZ for 13 years I also looked after a backpacker hostel for 3 months, and minded small motels and businesses for friends.
I am very practical, and as well as minding your home and pets I can attend to lawn and garden care.
I will only house-sit in non-smoking premises please.
I can provide you with further referees on request. Most of my sits have been through word-of-mouth so I don't have many in-app reviews.
PS. The YouTube video isn't about me house or pet sitting but it does show you a little of me, my passions, & what I am capable of (plus it's a good little plug for BlazeAid!!)
