More information about this house sitter

We are a retired couple, married for 49 years, live in Melbourne and have had 4 homes. We are proud parents of three sons and six grandchildren. We are non-smokers.
I was born in Egypt of Italian parents and migrated to Melbourne, Australia in 1952. I still speak Italian. Now retired from the insurance industry where I spent most of my working career except for some two years where I was a gardener & lawn-mowing contractor. Over the years, I volunteered with the St Vincent de Paul Society, State Emergency Service and Country Fire Authority and served in the Australian Army Reserved for about 2 years.
Furthermore, I am a bit of handy-man at home and some years back, joined an organisation for retired men called the Men's Shed where we build items of wood &/or metal and contributing to various charities.
Helen was born in Melbourne and was a Personal Assistant and general Administrator for an Australia wide education company for around 19 years. As a volunteer, Helen has worked for the local Salvation Army shop, as a driver for the Leukaemia Foundation, the Melbourne Commonwealth Games in 2006 and the Australian Golf open in 2008. In addition, was a volunteer with the Berwick Agriculture Show Society as assistant secretary.
Recently, we sat our first Australian housesitting contract for 10 days including minding a lovely young dog. We have also looked after our son’s two dogs for several weeks at a time over the years and fed our neighbour’s cat when they are on holidays. In the early years of our marriage, we owned two cats.
Over the past years, we have been on several overseas trips & cruises visiting many countries. We have also visited most cities in Australia, including staying on various farms. On one trip to the UK to visit our son & family in London, we house-sat a 17th-century house in South Devon for 8 days which included caring for their large flower and vegetable garden and collecting the mail.
We have a strong understanding of the internet, email and are keen to keep up with modern technology.
We can assure you of our honesty, reliability, housekeeping and organisation skills including utmost care of property and contents. Of course, we will keep a record of all phone messages and secure all mail from the local post office.
We are recent members of the Australian House sitting operations however, but looking forward to the adventure of staying in different locations, caring for other people's property & pets and meeting people.
Regards
Paul & Helen Read more...
