House Sitter in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota

I am a retired, 64 year old, quiet, private, responsible woman. I have been a house sitter in past years for one or two weeks at a time for family and friends (some have pets). It was an enjoyable experience,to be in charge of another's home, pet, taking in mail and newspapers, and keeping the house neat and clean. I do not party, but I do enjoy having family and friends over for a few hours of food, fun, friendship and crafting (scrapbooking, card and jewelry making). I can operate most appliances, including a lawnmower, but have no experience with a snowblower because I've never had to deal with snow except in an emergency. I am currently staying with a family member in Brooklyn Park, and would prefer to stay in the north and west metro area, but will consider all options.
