Description
Jan Machin
Hi, I am a practical person with a great affinity for animals, and people, I have a caring and patient personality. I raised 4 boys and have 8 grand children. Now semi retired! I have time to travel. I have one son in NZ and visiting him in January 2026 I'll be in NZ for 6 weeks and would love to visit as much of this amazing country as I can. Previously have done work away in Southern Island. My son is near Wellington, still so much to see 🙂
currently working pt as a "pet sitting angel" which means I look after property and animals whilst the owners have their holiday 🙂 have some regular animals I look after in England and would love to do this in other countries.
I would be happy with most animals.
My hobbies are mainly focused on being outdoors, moderate golfer my main passion! walking and kayaking. But always looking to try new things.
I look forward to meeting you

I had a last minute chance to revisit the Southern Island and found Lyn and what a great find. Maybe an area not on the tourist route but wow the Otago region is definitely worth visiting.
I had a great time (sunny every day) thanks for the intro to Golf members 👍 and for your travel knowledge and stories.....All the best xx

Jan came and stayed for about a week. There is a wee bit of a difference between hosting young people and people young at heart. Jan is very well organised. I now have a detailed list of all the food in my big freezer and it was nicely packed. I have a list of jobs that could be done and she just worked away to complete many of them. It was fun… read more

It was a pleasure to host Jan. She was great company and extremely helpful around the property. Very independent and tonnes of initiative. And now a good friend!

I stayed for a week at this little piece of tranquility. Barb was a wonderful host and made me feel very welcome. I helped in the garden talked to the animals and generally helped where I could. It was great meeting other workaways and a place I would recommend to anyone visiting the island.

This was my firs work away and I can't wait to go to my next. Cathy was very warm and friendly, welcomed me to make myself at home. She has a wonderful array of animals and lives in a ver quiet location. I regularly had deer wondering around outside my caravan. A shame Cathy was feeling a bit below par, even then she had some good stories to… read more

Although Jan was here for only a short visit, she was just a joy to have around. She immediately pitched in with the general household chores and perceived the projects that needed doing. I often found her merrily working on things that i had just put off for later, and she just took it upon herself to complete. Honestly wished she could have… read more
