I am so glad to have had Jana around, I guarantee you won't find a better person. For a few hours a day a couple times a week I left my home, my pets, AND my less than 2 year old daughter in Jana's capable and trustworthy hands. While away, Jana's main tasks were taking care of my daughter and she always came prepared with stories, poems, and fun. I always felt at ease leaving my home and family with Jana. She made it a priority to get to know my house, for instance cleaning supplies, first-aid equipment, etc. Not only was she good with my daughter, and my daughter happy to be left with her, I also knew that she and my house were going to be well taken care of and returned in a state, most likely, better than when I left! Jana is very personable but more importantly reliable. She always stuck to her word. Before we started, she was upfront with me about what she was looking for, re: employment. She told me when she could work, for how long, and renumeration etc. I can honestly say I don't have a single negative thing to say about Jana.

Why I want to house sit

I genuinely love all things to do with the home and family, such as making a comfortable space, hosting a guest, making food. But I also love traveling and meeting new people, and housesitting and caring for pets is the best of both worlds
