Having come from a rural background, i have enjoyed the opportunities for rural 'help ', travel & house minding over the last 7years as a 'grey nomad' in caravan life. Last 2 years Independently house/farm sitting self contained vehicle.
This has entailed extended 'sits' from 10days to 18 months, assisting & allowing owner breaks. .....chickens, geese, guinea fowl, cage birds, peacocks, dogs, cats,rabbits,bearded dragons, fish,& turtles, horses (rugging & feeding) alpacas & cattle.
At times this consisted of feeding, maintaining water cleanliness & supply (starting pumps) grooming, cleaning & maintaining habitat, & regular medications as a daily duty or for absentee owners.
I have also recently enjoyed overseeing pets & a house with vineyard where I was required to monitor watering . Also selecting stock for collection of wine orders.
