House Sitter in Country Club Hills, Illinois

Greetings! My name is Akasha and I’m looking to partake in an Early Spring/Summer housesitting arrangement. I’m a freelance writer from Chicago who took off earlier this year to embark on a journey of travel, adventure, and just simply living life to the fullest. I started in San Diego, CA and worked my way up the coast participating in work-for-trade projects that I found through WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) and workaway...... I’ve volunteered my time in hostels, as a nanny, and on a few farms where I learned everything there is to learn about the art of growing food. I love being out in nature—so working on different farms has been the most rewarding aspect of my journey. During my travels in 2016, I stayed with a lovely Australian couple here in Corvallis, Oregon and traded work on their blueberry farm for accommodations. I also did some simple landscaping jobs around the property—as well has housesit when they take weekend trips, make sure the inside of house is kept immaculately clean, and care for their adorable dog Diego. I just recently returned from Phoenix, Arizona in December after spending the summer doing a work exchange at Phoenix Hostel and Cultural Center and managing House in the Pines Hostel in Prescott, AZ. I love connecting with people from all walks of life and I love the idea of creating a home that is warm, welcoming, and aesthetically pleasing. I put love and care into other people’s home just as I would in my own and it would be an honor and a privilege to be entrusted with yours. I hope to connect with you soon. Peace and Love, Akasha
