Visiting family
About
We are a retired couple from Scotland visiting our daughter and family in Queenstown New Zealand. We are usually in Queenstown area December, January, February.
We are a caring couple and would look after your home well and respect your home and animals. Jim is a keen gardener and will do any jobs required. At home in Scotland we have a large garden and Jim loves cutting the lawn on his sit on mower.
We have been retired now for 11 years. I was an advanced nurse practitoner for the last 11 years and previously worked as a midwife in the UK and Zambia. I was nursing for 44 years since leaving school and before retiring.
Jim worked in engineering and last 11 years was a Director in an engineering company.
We have done several house sits in NZ over the last 5 years.
