A Lady of a Certain Age - freelance writer and photographer who flies solo
About Gail
Hello, I am an Australian who ran away from home. I am a digital nomad in the true sense of the words.
I have two grown up daughters and two gorgeous grandsons, so I am no stranger to having children or pets around me. I owned restaurants for years in Noosa Queensland, so of course I love food and wine.

Hello, I am an Australian who ran away from home. I am a digital nomad in the true sense of the words.
I have two grown up daughters and two gorgeous grandsons, so I am no stranger to having children or pets around me. I owned restaurants for years in Noosa Queensland, so of course I love food and wine.
I am very self-contained and independent, responsible and caring of other people, their property and four legged family members.
I am ex para-legal, who dabbled in Journalism, fashion design 3 yrs, photography 1 year, then owned restaurants for far too long. I have my TESOL certificates in Business English, Hospitality, Private Tutoring, pre-school and children 7-12 but rather than teach, I prefer to write Lesson Plans for clients that need them. I freelance on writing and also have several private clients that I write for. Hence I travel with my laptop and a camera, plus my undies :)
I fly solo as that way I can actually feed my photographic obsession without inconveniencing anyone else. I love experiencing different cultures through the people I meet, the food I taste and the vino I share. Very much a "sand between the toes" person where beaches are concerned. I love to read, it is my escape. On the left field side, I love fishing and boats, not adverse to a hike or camping and never have been.
5 Things I can't live without:-
1. Coffee
2. Laptop
3. Camera
4. Wine
5. My fairy godmother
and of course, having a cuddle from a furry friend.
Why I want to house sit
I have been traveling for the last 5 years and I am now based in my home town of Port Douglas Queensland Australia - but I do need the opportunities to run away and play with some furry animals.
My experience
A caring, somewhat pedantic person, I am responsible and reliable to look after your "treasures" whether it be your home or your pet/s.

Gail was a wonderful housesitter and was brilliant with our animals , two dogs and a cat. We had no problems at all and when we returned after two months away everything was in order and we were welcomed by happy animals. She sent photos of our dogs on their walks kept in touch in case there were any problems. I can highly recommend her and we would love her to come back.

I have known Gail for more than 10 years and during that time I have always found her to be reliable, organised and great with children. I have no hesitation in recommending Gail for any position that may become available

Gail is all you would want to do this type of job. she is honest which I think is essential. and she is trustworthy.
She takes her responsibilities seriously; she does all she does with a permanent smile which reflects her positive attitude.
