House Sitter in Bloomington, Minnesota
I'm an
Individual
Hello there, my name is Birdie. I’m a professional, energetic, non-smoking female in her 40’s with my own transportation. I enjoy family/friends, church, work-well-done, books with a cuppa, nutrition & fitness, all things Zumba, always learning, and meaningful side-hustling that has led to, and continues to, contribute to maintaining and making new valued connections.
I have been into health & wellness for myself and others, since early childhood. Wellness truly covers a harmony of many areas in each of our lives! Ourselves, our loved ones (furry/feathered/slippery family members included), our homes, communities, investments, our freedom & ability to create, build, and maintain the goals of today and for our tomorrows. I’d love to provide valuable time, freedom, and service for YOUR wellness!
I have a knack for meeting people where they are at, creative problem solving, and bringing out the best in people. We all have natural gifts. I believe mine have always been as a healer and encourager. I have a saying, “It’s never about the weather, it’s all about your gear.” Success for me; both personally and professionally, is achieved with the right heart, right tools, leadership, hunger for excellence, tenacity and eternal optimism. I think my love for caretaking really all started with a very early and amazing experience getting to enjoy and care for my dear Great Grandparents. I love caring for people, critters, and homes when people are in need for an energetic, hard-working, problem solver, responsible, flexible, nonjudgemental, knowledgeable, multi-cultural, completely reliable, quick-learner, respectful, compassionate, trustworthy, kind, optimistic, and “Got-Your-Six” protective person, as their trusted House-Sitter “Go-To”—-That’s me!
Over the decades, I have had a great deal of experience and success with multiple happy family, friends, patients, customers, clients, and connections.

Yep, consider-it-done. “I’m” your Go-To!
For decades, I pride myself in providing very detailed care as well as anticipatory services, assistance, and management. My favorite response when people reach out to me is, “The answer is absolutely, my pleasure, …now, how may I help you?” That’s just ONE way to differentiate yourself from the pack. It sets the tone and requires a genuine and great attitude. I’ve learned in life, that you can train “most” people for just about anything. HOWEVER, you cannot train genuineness, energy, or attitude! Wherever I commit to; I create, or am a part of, real team energy and a collective win! Likely, a “lifetime athlete” thing. Plus, “Once a soldier, always a soldier”. That’s my edge. In work, in life. I still smile in remembering a saying that I always took pride in hearing, “I need a Birdie!”, or “Where can ‘we’ get a Birdie?” from my different employer’s happy business partners, guests and customers. Hope these random and fun details help you better understand that you, your family, and assets would truly be in exceptional care!
I’m in Burnsville and “prefer“ to stay somewhat close to home and in a radius of the nearby surrounding cities, for random and short-term work. Yes, I am willing, and have the flexibility, to travel for long-term commitments. I would love the opportunity to earn the responsibility, challenge, and repeat biz in helping you & your family out.
It may also help to know, my ancestry, family, and friends are very diverse and treasured. I love people, learning different cultures/faiths/traditions/wisdom, and studying foreign languages in order to learn even more.
I’m new to MN bc of a major family event. Looking forward to connecting with other great people here, growing, and doing more of what I love. Please feel free to let me know if you are interested in my assistance and an additional teammate.
I’m really looking forward to hearing from you and learning if we are a great fit for one another and the possibilities of serving you & yours with joy and excellence!
