Description
Hello! My name is Renie, and I live in Auckland, New Zealand. I am married to the lovely Clive and am the proud mother of two adult sons. I also have three high-spirited nieces (aged 8 to 14 years) whom I love to spend time with. My husband and I love France and hope to live there one day. For now, I am on a mission to explore as much of France as I can. I have worked in adminstration and hospitality. I also sing in an acoustic duo called SugarMouse. I enjoy gardening and cooking, especially sweet treats. I do not love... brussel sprouts (no matter how hard people try!) or mathematics! I am very thankful for... calculators and Goggle Maps :-)

I had the most wonderful time with Sophie. She is so warm, caring, creative, energetic and hilarious. I loved her from the very first moment! Sophie’s guest house is beautiful.

Renie deserves more than 5 stars! She became a member of the household without any difficulty. Her help with the garden was splendid - it has never looked so good.
