More details about your skills

I have worked in many jobs:
- writing and editing documents in English
- caring for older people and cooking their meals
- cleaning houses and hotel rooms
- gardening.

And I have worked as a professional live-in house and petsitter for over eight years. I was based in Australia, but also travelled and completed housesitting assignments throughout Europe and Central America. This allowed me to live like a local in new environments. I really enjoyed trying out life in new destinations and meeting a wide range of people, to further my life experiences. As a Housesitter I met some wonderful homeowners and their pets. And the experiences I've had have been fulfilling and rewarding.

I created my own petsitting website, which provides more information about me:

I have also worked in a corporate environment as a Technical Writer and Proofreader, and so have excellent written English skills. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English.

I have intermediate to advanced computer and social media skills.

In addition, I have experience with food preparation, cooking, cleaning and gardening.

Also I have been learning Spanish for several years. I estimate I am roughly at an intermediate level, although my comprehension skills are better than my speaking skills.
