Retired - educator, artist and granny

Retired - jack of most trades

A professional couple (of bushies), recently retired. We are non smokers, keen gardeners and enjoy the outdoors . We have travelled extensively and worked across a broad spectrum of disciplines throughout Australia and overseas.

Shelly’s a Brisbane girl with a background in art (textiles), early childhood development, community support, retail & administration… Daire grew up on a prickle farm in rural Victoria, picking spuds and raising poddy calves, worked in dairy, wheat/sheep, as a Firey & a deckhand, before rewarding careers in aviation/tourism, community development and support coordination.

We spent many years working in very remote desert regions of Australia, lived in Ireland for some years and more recently spent the last 10 years in Cairns.

Along with Aussie/Celtic folk music, flying, boating and easy walks, we enjoy exploring new places & cultures. At our life stage one more adventure would be worth considering.

We have an old 4x4 mobile home and plan to spend the next few years traveling the long paddock. We'd love to stop and help out along the way ... happy to consider any opportunities, the more remote, the better......... we are currently based in Toowoomba and plan to head off the beaten track sometime in 2025.

Great couple, went above and beyond. Daire fixed things around the house and my animals were looked after and happy. They had to deal with severe weather and storms and were marvellous. Thank you so much! I highly recommend them.

Shelly and Daire were amazing! The dogs were well cared for and I think the house is cleaner than when we left. Couldn't recommend them more

Shelly and Darry looked after our home and pets for two weeks and we're fantastic housesitters who we would definitely recommend. It was so lovely to come home to happy pets, our home and pool were sparkling clean and Shelly and Darry had left us some treats including a delicious Shepherd's pie ready to reheat for dinner on our return. The care and attention to our home and pets and the special treats were really so thoughtful and such a perfect end to our holiday. Thanks again Shelly ... MORE

Thank you Shelley and Daire so very much for caring for our home and all our fur babies. We came home to an extremely clean and tidy house. Our pets were happy and had been well cared for.
