LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thanks to our caretaker-wanted ad that ran in the Gazette, we now
have a great caretaker living on our estate property. Not only
does our caretaker have the opportunity to live in one of the
most  beautiful places in the world, our caretaker is helping to
keep our property maintained and learning some valuable skills
that they can take with them when they decide to move on to
another caretaker position. This is the second caretaker
we’ve had through the ads we’ve run in the Gazette
and both have been the best caretakers we’ve ever had!
Thank you for your publication and having some of the best people
available! S. J., WI

Sara, I'm glad to hear that your caretaker-wanted ad in the
Gazette resulted in positive responses to help you with your
property needs there. It sounds like your property will be in
good hands. Please spread the good word about the Gazette to
other property owners in your area who can use it.

As I have previously told you over the phone, I don’t use
computers. I’m so glad that when I last called, you told me
all about the new positions that you email to all subscribers
every week. Here’s my son’s email address enclosed.
As you said, please send new positions to my son’s email
address every week, and then I’ll just ask him to call me
and he can read the new positions to me over the phone. J. L.,
Trenton, NJ

Jane, we’re glad to help you. We’ll email new
opportunities to your son’s email address numerous times
every week, so this way you’ll be getting hundreds of new
opportunities that you won’t see in the issues because
sometimes homeowners need to find people immediately.

Can you provide me any tips on the best way to be accepted as
either a housesitter or property caretaker? Thanks. L.R.
Portland, OR

Hi Larry, thanks for asking. We just published these tips on our
Caretaker Gazette blog. For more tips, please visit our blog at
http://caretakergazette.blogspot.com
                          
TIPS FOR RENT-FREE LIVING

1. Determine if you want to be a housesitter or a property
caretaker. A housesitter normally just takes care of the
homeowner’s pets and plants in exchange for rent-free
living and no compensation. A property caretaker will also take
care of the homeowner’s pets and plants, but has many more
responsibilities and will be compensated for them, in addition to
the free housing provided.

2. Have a one-page list of your references prepared and ready
to send out immediately. Anyone who has common sense, positive
references, and is in good health can be a housesitter or
property caretaker. If you have previously taken care of
someone’s home, your reference list should include the
names and phone numbers of the homeowner’s where you have
been a housesitter/property caretaker. If you have never been a
housesitter/property caretaker, your reference list should
include professional references on your list, such as your
employer, doctor, attorney, landlord, etc. Homeowners want to
know you're responsible and trustworthy!

3. Have a one-page resume prepared and ready to send out
immediately. Keep it simple and to the point. Be sure that
everything on your resume, especially your contact information,
is up-to-date.

4. Read the rent-free living assignments in The Caretaker
Gazette very carefully and make sure the assignment is right for
you. If you don't think that you are interested in an assignment,
please do not waste your time or the homeowners' time by applying
for assignments that you don't think you will accept.

CARETAKER PROFILE
“Laurie Lipp– The Evolution of a Caretaker”
Date of Birth: 06/22/52
Address: XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Interests: the arts/design, dance, swimming/snorkeling, hiking,
writing, language and culture
Quote: "Hula is the language of the heart, therefore the
heartbeat of the Hawaiian people.” - Kumu Hula Mark

Laurie Lipp

Having been raised in a New England family of educators, it was
an entirely unintended lifestyle for me to become a caretaker in
Hawaii, yet after a life of work-related travel in various
obscure corners of the world, property caretaking was a natural
progression.
At an early age I began spending summers, away from the family
home by the sea, in the mountains of New Hampshire working with
horses. After completing college where I combined my interests in
nature and the arts I moved to Vermont to pursue the arts. For 18
consecutive summers I managed a household on an island, cooking
for those staying in the home. I loved island living and accepted
other such positions off-season as well. My interest in culinary
arts grew and I worked as an interim innkeeper at a country
inn/cooking school in charming Provence, France. Other summers I
was assistant manager at an inn/restaurant on Martha's Vineyard.

It was in 1983 that my adventurous spirit led me to explore New
Zealand through work and travel. En route I stopped in Hawaii. I
immediately became enamored of the islands, the soft breeze, the
culture, the pristine waters a palette of pale greens to deep
azure.  I had, after all, won first prize in a 4th of July parade
as a hula dancer the year Hawaii gained statehood, 1959. 
Since that love at first sight, I've relished every opportunity
to return to Hawaii and escape the northeast winters. I took an
alternate route one winter and worked as a resident assistant
manager at an eco-tourism off-the-grid resort in Belize. Though I
quickly became quite jungle-savvy (checking, for the inhabitants
sharing my environs, shaking out clothing before slipping into
it, and examining bedding prior to crawling in for a night's
sleep), I soon came to the realization that I, indeed, am not a
jungle woman.  I longed to find a caretaking situation in the
gentle Hawaiian Islands. 
Five years ago, this dream finally became a reality.  In the
Upcountry Maui neighborhood where I'd been staying for many
years, I met the owners of a vacation rental just up the road.
They moved me onto the property as manager where I lived in a
cottage. I was the first manager to live on site. The owners felt
it was less complicated to have one person living on their
property rather than the dynamics of a couple. 
Within less than a year there was a change of ownership. I took
on full responsibility as manager of both the estate/property and
the vacation rental business comprised of two cottages in
addition to inn rooms and a suite for guests situated in the main
building also housing the owners' private dwelling. The new
owners lived on the mainland and visited only twice per year. It
is an exquisitely landscaped eight and a half acre property with
organic fruit tree orchards and over two acres of protea flowers
which had been sorely neglected.  I directed the restoration of
the protea farm. 
While managing the estate and property, I lived in a rustic
cottage. The cottage had the most breathtaking view on the
property - the distant West Maui Mountains and the North Shore,
4,000 feet below. I was given 10% commission for all reservations
that I made. I did not have much responsibility with these owners
as they lived there most of the time. I was only expected to work
8:30 am – noon, so I spent the majority of my time swimming
and snorkeling at the beaches. 
The estate is a large, complicated property and I negotiated with
the owners to have a salary and health benefits. In addition to
health benefits, three weeks paid vacation, and rent-free living,
I was paid a salary of $36, 000 per year. At that time, Maui
County required, by law, that any vacation rentals that were
owned by absentee owners were required to have a property manager
living on site.  
The position, I found, allowed me to utilize many of my skills:
interpersonal, design sense (interior and exterior), eye for
detail, and sense of humor. Hand-picking my staff as well as the
contract workers allowed me to develop a highly competent crew
whom I treated like family. Guests were treated like friends and
the number of repeat guests sharply increased. The job required
absolute commitment 24/7 - and I had no trouble fulfilling that
commitment. The key to success in such a position is open
communication and mutual respect between the caretaker and the
owners. 
Over the past few months, Maui County has closed vacation
rentals; therefore, I am no longer managing this property and
business. My diverse lifestyle has taught me to be quite
adaptable. As I seek a long-term position as estate
manager/caretaker or perhaps manager or a retreat property, I am
leaving my options wide open. Though I desire to remain in the
Hawaiian Islands, I am willing to relocate. I look forward to the
challenge of a new adventure.

MEXICO

CARETAKER/MANAGER needed for a Mexico vacation rental in Kino
Bay, Mexico, two blocks from the Sea of Cortez. I have just
finished remodeling and rentals are up. This could be the best
year yet but my old manager has moved back to the states. I am
looking for someone who is interested in living free in Mexico
and occupying my home while improving it. You would do
maintenance, repairs, some remodeling, cleaning, check in and out

knowledge of Mexico and the rental business. You will also need a
car and some sort of income or savings or pension. I will cut you
in for a piece of the rental money to be determined upon hire but
it will not be enough to live on unless you are very frugal. I

carefully before any agreements are made. I am hoping to find an
