About Janet
I am a 62 year old retired teacher. Thank God I am in excellent health and good physical condition. I enjoy Latin Dancing and work at perfecting my Spanish. From 1998 to 2012 I worked for a FL school district teaching primarily at risk youth and juvenile offenders. In 2012, I took a year's leave of absence to try something drastically new: livin...
I am a 62 year old retired teacher. Thank God I am in excellent health and good physical condition. I enjoy Latin Dancing and work at perfecting my Spanish. From 1998 to 2012 I worked for a FL school district teaching primarily at risk youth and juvenile offenders. In 2012, I took a year's leave of absence to try something drastically new: living in a foreign country, learn the language, learn Latin Dancing and to teach English as a Foreign Language. That was 5.5 years ago. I have been blessed with many adventures and lots of travel. Recently I retired from that adventure and am looking for my next. In the meantime, I would like to travel around trying new places and meeting new people while I start my online business with Panama as my home base. My motto is "Trust your Journey". His plan is much better than anything I could have dreamed up!
Why I want to house sit
I am flexible and don't like to have a preconceived picture of what to expect. The unexpected is much more interesting. I love the country but do not feel I can still, nor do I want to handle the enormous work of a bigger farm. I have a passion for cultural diversity and love immersing in my new environment.
My experience
I had a small family country home, not quite a farm, in FL: pigs, chickens, goats, horses, veggie garden. For 5 years now I have lived and worked in the city in Panama, Central America. I recently retired and am running my own online TEFL course and ESL program. Until now I have always had pets and miss them terribly but have been traveling and working quite a bit so not fair to them. Now I am looking for my next adventure and want to try some places to see where I might like to settle this time.

Janet is awesome! I travel a lot and she always stays in my house and takes care of my dog. When I get back, I think my dog misses her! In December I had to leave on an emergency trip and Janet came right away. She was a lifesaver! I would definitely recommend her for anyone who needs someone friendly for their pets and definitely reliable and responsible. I can’t say enough about her!
