    Description

    I am a psychologist and I used to be a paramedic. I worked 10 years for the US Military as a psychologist and was able to travel the world. I love learning about other cultures. I have my SAG-AFTRA card from work in the entertainment industry when I was young. I also owned and showed horses for many years having won 7 th place in the world championships in Equitation.
    We live on an amazing golf course near Palm Springs, California. We have four small dogs and a cat. Only me and my husband live here, he is an RN nurse who just finished his doctorate of nursing to become a Nurse Practitioner.
    I would welcome some help around the house like organizing things and helping sell unneeded items. In addition to taking care of pets and other animals we foster. I will be happy to drive you around the general area and get you other places you want to see. You will have your own private bedroom (it has some storage items in it) and bathroom ( the cats liter pan is in the bathtub as well).

    *** please read before responding
    1. I need a copy of passport before you arrive, this is simple for our own protection
    2. We do not accept Workaway's for over two weeks. At the end of two weeks we can sit down and talk about staying longer, I have had someone stay three months, but this is not normal. Usually a month is maximum unless the situation is very ideal.
    3. We can not plan way in advance. We can book you from 4 to 6 weeks in advance, but not much earlier. I will need to speak to you via Whatsup before I can give you a 100% yes.
    4. Please be at least 21 years of age.


    We get lots of requests, please be flexible and adoptable to new situations if you want to come here. . And PLEASE be someone who has no problem remembering and following directions very accurately! We both work full time and really need someone who loves dogs and will happily hang out and pet them when we are not around!

    This is an awesome vacation area. We live on a great golf course and there are many golf courses and things to see and do here. We are two hours from Los Angeles, two hours from San Diego and four hours from Phoenix and Las Vegas. The weather here is amazing all year, except a couple months when it is very hot in the summer, VERY HOT! Many great hiking places here as well.
