Looking for a comfortable place to call home for 14 weeks (flexible)

Tenant Looking for a Home in New South Wales, Australia
Weekly Budget: Maximum AUD $850

Looking for an Entire Home | Willing to Housesit
Tenant Timing: From December 20, 2023 until March 31, 2024

Description

Hi my name is Tasha and I have two daughters, one of whom is coming to Sydney to look at universities and the other to train with a Sydney based soccer team. We are looking at an extended stay to feel out Sydney for a permanent relocation. I am employed by the AIA as their CPD coordinator in Tasmania and I am also a graduate architect with a past life as a tutor at Deakin University. I would love to explore research being undertaken across the universities for future professional development for our profession. Any advice or connections to local academics within the architectural community would be hugely appreciated. My daughter who is keen to study medicine would love an opportunity to make local connections too. My husband who is a registered architect will stay based in Hobart to run our practice and will visit from time to time. We are looking at a stay of approximately 2 months (up to 3) months and are seeking an affordable housesitting/short term rental for the period. We have just had confirmation that we will need to be in Sydney by 20th November so it has become somewhat urgent! If you have the capacity to assist, even for a portion of the time, it would be greatly appreciated. We have now secured accommodation until December 20 but are looking at an additional 14 weeks after that. We have attached a reference but feel free to request further references or information and do not hesitate to get in touch to ask me any questions.

About Me

I am a Graduate of Architecture working in my own practice with my partner part time while also providing a CPD program for architects. In addition I am a parent to two teenage daughters and have two gorgeous dogs, a greyhound and cavoodle. We live in Tasmania with the bush only 5 minutes walk away. We mostly travel for sporting commitments but I travelled to Asia, Russia and Europe when i was young. I have studied at universities across the country and have recently toyed with idea of returning to study. I am keen to make connections with academics working in architectural practice and research. I grew up on 5 acres on the outskirts of Melbourne with a menagerie so am well versed in looking after animals if needed.
