As a family
The dream to live in Europe became a reality in 2018 by using this website to find a housesit. We struck gold by finding a long term housesit in France!. ooh la la did things change! . We got such a taste for this life enriching adventure, going strong for 7 1/2 years đ During COVID ( end of December 2020) we returned to Sydney, Australia, again in longterm housesits. ( We have excellent references to show) But we were asked to come back here in France , same place where it all began. ( From Mid 2023)
We are currently ( since April '25) in the country side near BĂ©ziers in another long-term housesit as it seems we can just stay..stay...and stay! and we are totally ok with staying in the beautiful HĂ©rault. What a treat!
A bit about our family: Damian is a ( part time) CAD draftsman / surveyor ( aviation) and is currently an on-line English teacher.
Damian was brought up on a farm/vineyard in South Australia by Dutch parents. He is quite the handyman. He has renovated several houses and he has been able to use his skills and knowledge in a variety of house sits. ( And the owners were very happy with that, see feedback đđ)
Tygo , our son(19) has become an enthusiastic side kick ( learning handy man skills is quite important for this generation z đ). He has an English teaching certificate for teaching online and he designs audio video parts for 3 D printing.
Lisette has a certificate in support work for aged care and worked as a circuit coach at a women only gym in Australia.
Lexi ( 15) is doing a Canadian home school program and has a passion for museums and art. She is pursuing a course in couture.
We love what we are doing and often go over and beyond because we can't help ourselves đ and on top of that as a bonus, we get to spend time as a family and share this experience together, learning from all the different animals and people we have met.
Thank you for your time to read this.
We have clean police checks and great references.

Lisette, Damian, Tygo and Alexandra have simply blown us away. They arrived with enthusiasm, bearing gifts and ready to learn about and care for our place and cat! Their communication leading up to and during their stay was impeccable. Their attention to detail and efforts were outstanding, and they also put in a lot of hard work in the garden and around the house. And then, of course, there was Alexandra's Tiramisu to come home to!!!! The house was super clean and tidy and they left thoughtful cards and gifts. It was as if friends of ours had stayed. It simply doesn't get any better than this.

j'ai rencontré une famille trés sympathique notre seul problÚme fut la langue Lisette se débrouille en français mais le reste de la famille parle anglais ce qui m'a obligée à utiliser le mien qui datait de 63 ans inutile de dire que ce fut ardu. sinon mes animaux ont été choyés et la maison bien entretenue

Une famille trĂšs respectable, sympathique, qui a bien pris soin de notre chatte, ainsi que de la maison et du jardin. Je recommande vivement Lizette et Damien.
