WE ARE MORE THAN A WEBSITE
THE CARETAKER GAZETTE: a company publishing
for 42 years! Our visitor traffic to www.caretaker.org keeps increasing every
week. That's because, as our advertisers and subscribers know - we are the only
Publication of its kind, we are a bricks and mortar company - not just a
website.
We have had a rise in the number of complaints about websites
that are set up to promote themselves by offering housesitting and property
caretaking assignments. Some of these websites have allowed people to place
fraudulent ads for housesitting and property caretaking jobs that do not exist.
THE CARETAKER GAZETTE is not affiliated with and has no connection to any of
these websites. All of the ads that you see in the printed issues and online
editions of the GAZETTE are legitimate and paid for by the
advertisers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COUPLE NEEDED at a family-owned recreational ranch in the Texas Hill Country. We are looking for the right pair to replace our retiring couple. The location is isolated, the scenery is beautiful, the work is hard at times, the work is fun at times, the work can be rewarding, the work can be physically challenging and maddening! We offer it all! (Hear my chuckle). This opportunity is for a couple who want to stay put, grow to love a place and be content with peace and quiet most of the year, every year. The family comes about 75 days a year and when they are onsite, we cater to them. Sometimes that means preparing three meals a day for a dozen people and responding to many requests. Sometimes that means they want quiet and privacy and we leave them alone most of the visit. Most often it falls somewhere between the two extremes. When the family is not present, we work at a slower pace to upkeep the grounds, complete projects and maintenance, deep clean, organize, etc. The package includes a full time salary for each member of the couple, a three bedroom home (unfurnished), electricity, water, Broadband Wi-Fi, and Dish TV programming and a ranch truck to perform the duties. We would love to start a conversation if this interests you! Please email your cover letter and resume to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
