CARETAKER NEEDED for a rural property south of San Francisco. We are 45 minutes from San Francisco and 35 minutes from Santa Cruz. We are offering a small, private, furnished studio (one room) cabin which has its own kitchenette, bathroom and its own garden. In exchange we are asking for 15 hours a week of handy person, gardening, and/or animal care on our farm. We are interested in someone who likes dogs and cats and is willing to care for them in our absence. The ideal caretaker will be employed (or self employed), reliable, trustworthy, and have excellent verifiable references. The caretaker must be financially independent and responsible, have an interest in repair, maintenance and/or gardening or willing to learn, and enjoy living in a rural environment, like animals and a healthy country place. The caretaker will appreciate a quiet life; be private, appreciate our privacy and will not have lots of friends over. (Sorry about that.) If you are interested, please let us know about you in an email, we’ll take it from there. Please email caretaker@caretaker.org and include these words in the Subject Line: “San Francisco Bay Area Position” so your message can then be forwarded.
