LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Gary, please renew me for another two years. Once again, I have
received a tremendous response to my help-wanted ad seeking
caretakers that ran in your last Gazette. I am really impressed
with the quality of applicants. I have found some incredible
caretakers and made some wonderful friends through your Gazette.
I am planning to do an overseas trip next fall and look forward
to doing an exchange with some of your European subscribers.
Thanks again for your great service! L. J., Atlanta, GA
Laura, I am glad to hear that the Gazette has helped you find
great people to caretake your property. Let us know when you are
ready to run your ad for your overseas home exchange.
Hello, you'll notice that I have a new mailing address. I
received my very first issue of the Gazette, responded to one of
your ads, and here I am - caretaking a property in Arizona. I
don't want to miss a single issue of your fine publication. And,
thank you for making this position available through the Gazette!
C. R. J, Tucson, AZ
Charlie, glad to hear that you found a position so quickly! It
sounds like a good place to be. Sometimes it takes new
subscribers a few issues before they find a position that suits
them.
Dear Gazette folks, we have already received several offers from
our Situations-Wanted ad that we ran in your Gazette. While none
of them are exactly what we're looking for at this time, it's
good to know that our ad has been effective in connecting us with
property owners. We look forward to seeing what comes our way
through the Gazette in the future. S. and A. T., Stamford, CT
Sam and Amy, thanks to some favorable media coverage of the
Gazette last year and our upgraded website, we have more property
owners subscribing to the Gazette than ever before. In addition
to running their ads in the Gazette, many of these property
owners opt to use our Situations Wanted ads to find qualified
people to care for their properties.
Wow! What an amazing response we've received to our ad that ran
in the Gazette! I never dreamed that we would have had so many
quality people applying for the position. We've finally narrowed
our choice down to a gentleman who seems perfect for our
property. The choice was hard because of the incredible number of
fine people who responded to us. We will certainly mention your
publication to others who are looking for a good resource for
hiring property caretakers. Thank you! D. and K. Y., Raleigh, NC
Don and Kay, glad to hear that you have had a positive
response to your Gazette ad. We have many qualified caretakers
who subscribe to the Gazette so I am sure that you had some great
people to choose from. Success stories like yours are a major
reason why we have been in business since 1983 and keep growing
each year.

CARETAKER PROFILE
“Sheri Lynn Wilson: A Versatile Caretaker”
Date of Birth: 8/21/65
Address: XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Interests: Travel, reading and writing, films, music, fine
dining, but mostly, experiencing new places, people, cultures,
and learning to adapt to new environments and challenges.
Quote: “Circumstances and situations do color life but you
have been given the mind to choose what the color shall
be.” - John Homer Miller
Sheri Lynn Wilson
Sheri Lynn Wilson was born and raised in a small town in
Iowa. Sheri recalls, “The extent of my travel experiences
as a child and young teen were family trips to our vacation home
on a little lake in Nisswa, Minnesota every summer.”
Sheri’s first trip out of the U.S.A. came much later in
life when, in her early 20's, she spent a week in Cozumel,
Mexico. According to Sheri, “I was hooked. Mexico became my
newfound love. I knew that someday I would not only go back to
Mexico for another vacation, but I had dreams that I would
eventually wind up living there – and I eventually
did.”
After graduating from high school in Davenport,
Iowa, Sheri attended cosmetology school and, for the next ten
years, ran a hair salon in Oklahoma. However, Sheri says,
“After a decade, I was tired, worn out, and I finally said
to myself, ‘what have I really accomplished besides debt
and stress?’” It was at that point that Sheri
relocated to Mexico to co-captain a 36-foot trawler in the Sea of
Cortez. She spent six months learning how to read charts and how
to care for a power boat at sea.
After this experience Sheri found, “I quickly
realized that I could live a lifestyle that allowed me to travel.
I felt I had a lot to offer the caretaking profession. So, after
reading The Caretaker Gazette for the first time, I started
applying for caretaking jobs.” She responded to an ad in
the Gazette, and accepted a caretaking position on Roatan, an
island off Honduras.
On Roatan, Sheri’s responsibilities included
caretaking a large, waterfront, multi-million-dollar estate. She
had her own living quarters, took care of staff, and provided
security for the homeowners while they were sailing on their
yacht. Her skills in running and caring for power boats also came
in handy on Roatan.
Sheri's next caretaking assignments brought her to Baja,
Mexico, where she spent four years living and working on
off-the-grid homes on the beach. In addition to property and pet
care, Sheri learned how to operate and maintain solar power
systems. Once again, her skill with power boats and navigation
were put to good use on the waterfront properties.
Sheri notes, "I came back to the U.S. a little
over a year ago and started sifting through the Gazette, looking
for my next job. Through the Gazette, I wound up securing a
caretaking job on a nice ranch style property in the Santa Fe,
New Mexico area." In addition to caring for horses, cows, a
bull, dogs, and cats, she was responsible for maintaining the
solar system. Sheri recalls, "The owners were very good to
me and taught me a lot about large animal care, life, and not
trying to control everything around me so much."
When that assignment ended, Sheri sought a position near
the ocean. Although she loved the landscape and terrain of the
Santa Fe area, she missed living on the water. She recalls,
"I put my 30 day notice in, and started searching the jobs
once again in the trusty Gazette. Via another Gazette ad, I am
now caretaking a very private island off the New England
coast." Sheri is responsible for keeping trespassers off the
private island, communicating with and maintaining good relations
with the U.S. Coast Guard and local harbormasters, and looking
after privately-owned vacation homes, some of which have been
passed down for many generations. According to Sheri, "I am
entirely off the grid here as well, and there are no cars,
restaurants or movie theatres here but I am within a 2½
mile boat ride from all that. It is a lush, exquisite place,
quiet, tranquil, and mystical."
Sheri sums up, "How long will I be here? No
telling. At some point I will have no choice but to move on to a
new destination, a new adventure. I am used to off-the-grid
living, but am also familiar with and quite capable of caretaking
fine homes, and with my former management skills, I can tackle
just about anything that might come my way. I have made this my
career, and will be willing to entertain other opportunities as
they present themselves. I am open to long term arrangements as
well. Thanks to The Caretaker Gazette for letting me share my
story. It has opened several wonderful doors for me. My entire
outlook on life and what it is all about is happening right now,
one experience after another. I am loving every minute of
it!"
