Authentic Carer
About
Hello,
My name is Bernadette,
I am 60 years of age, and have recently re-located to my home-town of New Plymouth from Ohauiti, Tauranga.
I own my own home in Taranaki and will also be offering this up as a house-sit, I would also be interested in ongoing house-sits whenever you needed and I would be open to a house swap situation from time to time.
My property is beachfront in Taranaki.
My daughter has had a baby boy and I am now a Granny :), so I need to be back in the Bay and intend to spend at least a year in and around Tauranga/ Mount areas.
Please rest assured my priority at all times would be your animals, home and garden. I would be physically at your home 99% of the time. i I have extensive home and pet care experience and we raised the children on 20 acres in Oropi and raised calves , lambs, pigs, chooks, we also had dogs, cats, chooks, kune pigs, rabbits (you name it 🙂 )
I do have a 2 year old French Bulldog boy, he is small for a Frenchie and a very well mannered little man, he can stay with my daughter or son if this is not a suitable situation for him to stay with me.
I also ran an Air B n B for 5 years from my previous home at 9 Diamond Head in Ohauiti.
I would treat your home with respect and care, and treat your pets with much love and attention.
I have been sitting in and around The Bay since June and have references and reviews.
Warm regards
Bernadette
