Help
We would like someone to stay in our home and house-sit. This person will need to irrigate and care for our lawn (which is a standard town-size lawn), flowers and other plants. This is the only help needed.
This would be a good opportunity for a mature traveller, or couple with child. -

What else ...
Farmington is a medium size town that serves as a commercial hub for the four corners region. And, it is an excellent place for families. It's known for outdoor recreation, especially mountain-biking, off-roading, golf and trout fishing. The town is within a two-hour drive of a plethora of world-class recreation sites, including the southern Rocky Mountains, and southeast Utah. Durango Colorado, with a huge abundance of outdoor recreation opportunities, is an easy 60 minute drive.
Santa Fe, the state capital, is an easy 3.5 hours drive. Santa Fe is one of the most unique places in North America, and its art and restaurant scene is known worldwide as is the Santa Fe Opera.
A video chat with short-list candidates will be necessary, so we can meet each other and insure a good 'fit'- -
