Housesitting Vancouver Island
When we talk about housesitting, we're talking about taking care of other peoples' properties while they're away on holiday. The best way to describe what you get paid for doing this is "renting" another person's property, but there are many more reasons why you might want to become a housekeeper. Here are five good ones:
1. Flexible work
You don't need to commit yourself to a full week of cleaning. Instead, you could spend two days here and three days there, making sure everything stays clean.
2. No set hours
If you're a student, you may prefer to work during term times rather than weekends. Or maybe you've got kids and you like having a break from childcare duties. Whatever the reason, being a housekeeper means you can make flexible arrangements.
3. Money
It's true that housekeeping isn't always going to pay much money. But if you love doing it, you can probably earn enough to cover your costs and still save some cash.
4. Travel opportunities
There are plenty of places where you can go housesitting. In fact, you could live in a different country every year!
5. Independence
Housekeepers often feel like they lack independence because they're living somewhere else. However, this doesn't mean you have to give up any privacy. There are ways to keep things private without giving up too much freedom.
