Safe house!
There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
53, School librarian
Hi, I'm Gareth and I'm 53. Until October I was a school librarian in Birmingham. I did that for 14 years and before that a nurse for 10 years. I've been in Australia for 3 months (and house sat for 5 weeks in south WA) and return on Feb 4th.
Is 53 a little late to be changing my life? I have been told so (!) but I knew I needed and wanted a change. When I get back to the UK I will start looking for a job and a new place to live by the coast. House sitting seems like a perfect way to spend my time until I get sorted.
I love animals and have lived with dogs and cats at various points in my life. I am kind, considerate, caring and trustworthy I can happily provide references.
An easy way to verify my Identity and assure yourself of my good nature would be to look up the @SwanshurstLib TikTok or Instagram accounts and you'll see me being, by turns, both serious and silly.
