Senior RAAF Officer
Ages:
59.
-
I'm a retired RAAF Officer with complete freedom in
relation to time. However, I am also a member of The Salvation Army who
does considerable volunteer work, primarily in the USA. Notable
achievements include organising the warehouse for the Pentagon Disaster
post 9 /11 (150 000 sq ft warehouse full of brand new donated items). I
have also organised four fundraising campaigns, two in Arlington Va,
and two in Lawton, Ok., and administered a Homeless Shelter in Lawton.
When doing my volunteer work, I regard myself as an unpaid employee, not
a volunteer.
I own a home in Mandurah which I have let at 20 % beneath market value
because of the financial circumstances of my tenants. I am buying
another home in Canberra which I have allowed family members to live in
rent free. I am a great believer in having a social conscience. This is
not because of some in-built desire to ingratiate myself. It's primarily
in recognition that I have received such wonderful gifts throughout my
life.
To whom much is given, much is
expected.
I have had experience in home sitting (not
house sitting...its your home not your house!).
I love animals. Sadly, because of some military caused disabilities I
have some minor limitations in performing physical labour. I would like
to have access to broadband Internet (my cost)... telephone is not a
problem if broadband is available as I have a VOIP calling card. A car
would be handy (although I actually prefer public transport).
Interested in me...why not email me below
and we can have a chat. Who knows we might just fit! As always, any
blessings.

After three years successful house
sitting in Sydney and WA (references available) we are now looking for
a housesit in WA, SA, Victoria or NSW, we will be available from approx
10th Dec 08 to the beginning of Feb 09.
We are a retired English couple, non smoking,
who just love cats; we come back to Australia each summer as we find
European winters impossible so we have vowed to live in sandals forever.
You could call us grey nomads with the aim to get to know our globe before
we are too creaky to move.
We fly into Sydney about the 1st Oct 08 as we have been asked back to
housesit for the couple we sat for in Perth over Xmas 07/08 so they can go
over to NSW Oct/Nov. We will be driving to Perth so we can meet you on the
way over if it is convenient.
During the European summer we spend our time in Rochefort, France, very
close to the Atlantic coast and from time to time we pop over to the UK to
see the family.
My hobby is sailing and learning more about Capt James Cook and Barbara
excels at needlework.
If you would like to see what we get up to on our trips including photos

- Hello there, until I permanently
migrated 4 years ago to Melbourne I was self-employed in advertising and
also had my art-exhibitions in Switzerland and
Germany. I am a non-smoker, non-drinker, consume absolutely no drugs and
live a very quiet live-style as an independent woman. Over the past 9
years I have house-sat many times in Melbourne and Tasmania and looked
after beautiful gardens during the summer heat. I also had the privilege
to look after some places more than once. Responsibility and respect of
other peoples belongings is paramount to me ( I keep my swiss-standard
home owners mentioned). I am also a very keen vegie-gardener and have a
high consciousness for the environment and ride my bike as much as I can -
with a big smile - instead of driving the car. As an experienced handy
woman I know how to use a screw driver and a hammer.
Housesitting would be the perfect opportunity of giving me the space of
finding the place/suburb in which I will buy/build my own future home.
I am happy to provide excellent references of previous home owners
and also on request a police-check can be obtained.
Please send me an e-mail and we can meet and discuss your needs and
concerns.
I am looking forward to hearing from you. Cheers.
