More information about this house sitter

I am a mother of two girls in their 20's. I am currently living in my motorhome which I puchased last year with the intention of doing a lap of Australia with my youngest daughter. Unfortunately, she became unwell, so after Port Douglas we headed back to Bendigo Victoria, where we had relocated to in 2017, after selling my home in Gisborne and I am currently looking to buy a house in Bendigo. My daughter is now living with her partner so I'm travelling solo. We had a very spoilt 17 year old tortoiseshell cat named Ruby who we sadly lost in 2023. She was my constant companion and shadow, and her loss was immense. I will definitely be getting another cat once I am settled, but for now, I am happy to settle for caring for, and sharing the love of other peoples fur babies. I love gardening, reading, walking, enjoying nature, challenging myself and don't like starting something I cannot finish. I have a tendency to put my hand up for anything and have trouble saying no, but that has mostly been a positive in my life. I've been on many committees related to charities, fund raising for schools, sporting clubs, etc. I have often cared for peoples homes, children and animals whilst they are away. Mainly for people I know, however on many occasions, I have cared for homes and animals of strangers. Until recently I held a working with childrens check as I was very involved with the girls schools carrying out volunteer work. I have also done volunteer work for the Salvation Army for the past 4 years. I am happy to care for any pets and gardens. Having grown up on a farm, I've had many pets, including dogs of various breeds, cats, chickens, ducks, goats, pigs, horses, cows etc. I've also had several pet rabbits over the years. I am a non smoker, able to provide additional references other than those on the mindahome website if required, and happy to be contacted via video link to discuss possible house/pet sitting positions.
