Assignment Requirements

Opportunity now exist for a housesitter to join my house in Richmond.

Housesitter means someone who doesnt mind stay in the house most if not all the time and help with some regular generic cleaning. The cleaning is quite straightforward, doesnt take much time, easier than caring for a pet, but needs you here most of time, just like caring for a pet need you here most of time

Your job would be to assist the current housekeeper, and be in the house whenever the current housekeeper goes to school or work. The key is to have either yourself or the current housekeeper in the house all the time, so the house is not unattended.

Please note this is an unpaid arrangement, what you get is free accommodation (either a tent, a bed in living room, or any unoccupied bed in the house) and free breakfast.

To be successful to this arrangement, you must be:

1) Someone with good common courtesy, a good brain, speaks good english, clean, tidy and love cleaning.

2) Someone long term. I prefer someone who can be here for many many months or years. Hopefully someone with appetite to be house manager one day

3) Someone who does not have much commitment outside and does not mind staying in house most if not all the time, which fits the description of "housesitter"

If interested, write to me why you are suitable for this arrangement

Suburb Insights
Your day in Abbotsford 3067 begins with the gentle hum of an inner-city suburb, offering a serene backdrop for pet routines. Leash up for an invigorating walk through Yarra Bend Park, just minutes away. Extensive off-leash areas and winding river trails provide ample space for energy release, tracing the Yarra for your companion’s exploration and your morning calm. Returning home, the quiet of your residential street welcomes you, a calm space for pets to settle. Later, a more leisurely stroll might take you towards the Abbotsford Convent grounds. Its expansive lawns offer a peaceful setting for a gentle wander with your companion. Independent cafes dotted around Johnston or Victoria Street provide a perfect pause; many offer outdoor seating where your charge can relax nearby. Fetch a coffee or pastry, appreciating the local pace. The weekly Slow Food Market at the Convent, when active, offers fresh produce for both your meals and potential pet-safe treats. The afternoon invites a slower rhythm within the home, allowing pets their usual nap times. Should you venture further, tram routes along Victoria Street offer convenient links, though always consider your pet’s comfort on public transport. Abbotsford’s residential pockets ensure a peaceful evening for you and your charges. The day concludes with the familiar comfort of a quiet street, reflecting the settled, predictable routine pets thrive upon.
