Summary
A highly dependable and service-driven professional with a diverse background spanning luxury hospitality, project management, private home care, and animal care. Originally from New Zealand, I spent 14 years living and working in Sydney, Australia, before relocating to Spain, and I am now seeking a long-term opportunity to dedicate my skills and commitment to the care and management of a private residence or estate.
With a strong eye for detail and a genuine passion for creating beautiful, comfortable, and well-maintained environments, I bring extensive experience caring for private homes, managing household responsibilities, and providing trusted support to homeowners while they are away. My years in professional house and pet sitting have involved caring for a wide range of properties and animals, maintaining impeccable standards, and providing complete peace of mind through reliability, discretion, and thoughtful communication.
Alongside this, my background in project management and hospitality has developed my ability to organise complex tasks, manage budgets, coordinate teams, anticipate needs, and deliver exceptional service with professionalism and care. Calm, adaptable, and naturally attentive, I take great pride in ensuring every detail is handled to the highest standard and that the people, homes, and animals entrusted to me are cared for with genuine dedication.
