LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Gary, I think you have a great publication. I am a hard copy
subscriber but I found my last position through one of your email
broadcasts. I don't have a computer and don't consider myself
computer literate, but I took your suggestion and opened up a
free email account using a computer at our local library just so
I could get the email updates every week. I am glad I did this
because I ended up taking a caretaker job that came in through
your email broadcast. M. J. P., Grangeville, ID

Hi Mary, you are right. With more and more caretaker positions
coming in, and property owners who need to hire someone

CARETAKER PROFILE

"Barbara Yates: Mendocino Caretaking – Carving a
Creative Life"
Date of Birth: 10/30/47
Address: XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Interests: reading, sculpture, painting, travel, writing,
singing, meditation, hiking, swimming and horseback riding
Quote: "Creativity can solve almost any problem. The
creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes
everything." (George Lewis) 

Barbara Yates

        I make my living as an artist and as a single person I
learned that caretaking other people’s property allowed me
the time and space to make my art. This lifestyle has landed me
in extremely beautiful places, with my rent, utilities and,
depending on the situation, food, salaries, vehicles, and use of
swimming pools, as part of the deal.
      In my twenties I traveled around the world and found
wonderful opportunities for work exchanges along the way. In
Australia I lived for a couple of years in the outback where I
rented a house on a two hundred acre farm for the low rent of $80
a month in exchange for keeping an eye on my landlord’s
cows. In Bodh Gaya, India I spent a couple of weeks in a Thai
Buddhist monastery, in exchange I spent an hour every day helping
one of the monks with his university studies (in English). In
Israel I lived on a kibbutz for three months and did a variety of
jobs in exchange for everything I needed. I learned that honest,
loyal, hard working people were really appreciated and could get
jobs anywhere in the world.
      In my thirties I finally settled down and worked as a
computer programmer until I sold two of my short travel stories
to a magazine and a piece of art that I’d created was
accepted for an important juried show the City of Los Angeles was
sponsoring. I quit my job and began looking for ways to survive
as an artist, which in L.A. meant long term house sitting and
doing occasional scenic painting for movies.
      In my forties my first creative work exchange was as scenic
painter for the New Hope Theater in Pennsylvania. I spent the
summer painting sets in the Pocono Mountains while living in a
beautiful resort hotel. I stayed for two months in an apartment
in Venice Beach, CA in exchange for doing all the black and white
still photography for a video project an artist friend was
working on. On vacation in Jamaica I met a woman who lived in a
beautiful villa on a hillside overlooking the Caribbean and ended
up house sitting it for a week when she had to go away. While
there I learned wood carving from a local artist.
      One of my favorite work exchanges was for a real estate
investor in Bel Air. For three years I worked two days a week as
his office assistant in exchange for a salary and a nice little
apartment in one wing of his house. I had full use of the grounds
and swimming pool. It was while living in Bel Air that I began
carving large wood sculptures for the Treepeople Park in Beverly
Hills. I finally left Bel Air to do a summer work exchange as an
Artist in Residence at the Avondale Forest Park in County
Wicklow, Ireland where I carved a large sculpture from a famous
tree that had died. After this experience many of my work
exchanges were art related. I carved a large standing Quan Yin
for the Zen Center of Los Angeles; a statue of the Bodhisatva
Jizo for the Zen Mountain Center near Idyllwild, CA; I made my
first good money when I carved two large angels and an intricate
fireplace mantel, including corbels, for a stunt man’s
house in Thousand Oaks, CA; in Taos Ski Valley, New Mexico I
carved Saint Bernard with his St. Bernard dog for the Hotel St.
Bernard while staying in one of their large suites for over two
months off season.
      In my fifties I discovered The Caretaker Gazette. After
9/11, I decided I didn’t want to wait until I had enough
money to buy my own land in the country. I found the perfect
solution in the Gazette. I lived for two years in a very remote
southern Ohio bird sanctuary, taking care of all the birds and
other creatures, as well as a large organic garden. After that I
spent a year and a half as an Artist in Residence at a
women’s retreat center outside of Cincinnati.
      I came out to California last fall to deliver a statue
I’d carved of Quan Yin to the Zen Center in Sebastopol in
Sonoma County. I was house sitting for friends in Santa Cruz when
I saw the ad in the Gazette for the Meditation Yoga Center in
Sacramento. I spent a month there and carved a statue for them of
Krishna’s favorite girlfriend, Radha, and also lost 10
pounds. I’ve been living for the last six months on top of
a mountain in Mendocino County. It started out as a carving job,
but ended up as a caretaker situation. I have a cabin with a huge
deck around it in the middle of a madrone forest. On my deck
I’m carving a six foot tall Buddha for a local Buddhist
monastery. In exchange for the cabin, utilities and meals I work
25 hours a month, taking care of the extensive flower gardens and
animals. The owner travels a lot and feels safe knowing I’m
here watching things. I love it here but that doesn’t stop
me from carefully reading every email I get from the Gazette.
