I am a retired American academic living in France since 2010, first in Paris, and now caring for a house in a medieval village near Montpellier for the past six in a semi-permanent arrangement with the owner who resides in the States. I am reliable, easygoing but responsable, Greek-speaking after living in Greece for research during the 1980s, these days with frequent trips back and forth from France. I am well-traveled, certainly in Europe and Greece, with a range of interests and able to relate to a variety of people. I am also available to care for pets as needed. I have a ten-year French residence visa and an International Driver's Licence with years of experience driving in Greece, including mountain roads. I am a so-called senior and in certified good health. I am an amateur photographer. I have exhibited my photos around the Montpellier area in several cafés and restaurants (Bonobo, La Gazette, Coldrip, Isabella's Greek Restaurant) and area shows (La Rentrée d'Artistes d'Aniane for 5 consecutive years).
The owner returns every year for a couple of months and his stays are written into our contract as a chance and necessity for me to travel, often to Greece. This year I am scheduled to do a podcast interview in Athens at some point during the first few weeks of September, followed by a short stay on Kythera and then will be free to go elsewhere if need be. I return to France on the 11 October.
Yes, I am currently caretaking this large 3-story house plus walled garden since 2017. I have also done a fair amount of pet sitting, the latest fairly regularly for a friend, neighbor, and owner of 4 cats when she needs to be away on business for weeks at a time, up to a month.
Experience, fluency, willingness to learn, curiosity, the desire to meet new people and discover new situations, and a calm spirit that comes from regular yoga practice.
