27, Teacher

Hi, I’m Julia 👋 I’m a school teacher now living in Christchurch. I have done regular house sitting for the past 10 years in my local communities.

favoriteWhy I love house sitting

Discovering new places and communities, meeting new people, and cuddling with all of the precious fur babies!

Hi there! I’m a 27yo (F) school teacher based in Christchurch. I have done regular house sitting in my local community for 10+ years and Kiwi House Sitters was recommended to me as a great way to get to know the different areas of Christchurch before deciding where to put down roots.

Hi there! I’m a 27yo (F) school teacher based in Christchurch. I have done regular house sitting in my local community for 10+ years and Kiwi House Sitters was recommended to me as a great way to get to know the different areas of Christchurch before deciding where to put down roots.

I grew up on a working farm and my family regularly foster homed for the SPCA as well, so I’m great with animals. I’m clean and tidy, reliable and honest. Alongside house sitting, I have also rented properties and cleaned for AirBnB houses so I have excellent references and understand what it means to care for someone else’s home like it’s your own. As someone who works with children, I have also been regularly police vetted and have great character references if needed.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy new experiences and meeting people and my hobbies include baking/cake decorating, reading, outdoors, and live music.

I look forward to meeting you and having a chat about whether I might be the right fit for your home!
