Hi! My name is Maja. I live in Germany and work as a freelance literary translator (English/ French - German). I am in my early 60s and a happy grandmother of two little boys.
My job allows me to work anywhere in this beautiful world, even at short notice (thanks to computers and internet!) and while housesitting and/ or taking care of animals for a shorter or longer period of time. Since I am very fond of animals this seems to me the perfect combination!
Why I want to house sit
My job as a translator and my extended family have brought me to many different countries (e.g USA, Canada, India, various places in Europe), and I always found spending time abroad very inspiring and life enriching.
Also I know how hard it can be to find a trustworthy person to look after one's home and pets and I would like to help out where I can - now that I have more time on my hands.
My experience
We always had pets in the family when I was a kid and later on when my own children were growing up: birds (budgies, mainly) cats, rabbits, mice, turtles, guinea pigs.
I am more a cat than a dog person - in fact I adore cats because they have such a strong personality - but I am very willing to take care of a nice, well-trained dog and go for walks with him/her.

I am pleased to provide a short reference for Maja. I have known Maja for more than fifteen years now as a colleague and friend. She is reliable and responsible, organized, clever, cheerful and considerate, a great team player as well as an independent and highly efficient worker. She stays calm, positive and friendly even when under pressure and she really has a way with animals. I would recommend her as a housesitter without any hesitation.
