* Currently an Executive Coach specializing in relationship success, wellness, & leadership programs, while working on several books.
* BA in Liberal & Expressive Arts from Sonoma State University
* Long time resident of both Northern California & Baltimore, MD
* Have lived on both sides of the USA, Canada, and Europe on several occasions. Caring, honest, and professional, I am an American citizen who is French-speaking, as well as familiar with various cultures of the world. I will only consider a home in a safe neighborhood and which is well-maintained and clean. I come from a sound and well-respected background and am a private person. I have had housesitters myself, minding my own homes while I have traveled. Formerly a technology marketing consultant with companies like AT&T and EAI, I now enjoy success in the field of personal & professional development, offering executive coaching and consultations, mainly by phone, as well as workshops to Fortune 500 companies, as well as smaller, non-profit organizations. Most of my clients are senior executives at companies like, Credit Suisse, Smith Barney, Hewlett-Packard, Wells Fargo, & such. In addition, my hobbies include designing fragrant gardens, resort design, financial management, the arts, and traveling. I love animals, though I no longer have pets of my own. As a conscientious house care provider, I love to create a feeling of serenity at home. One of my design projects is for a spa sanctuary, so I am very familiar with what creates a sense of comfort and security in a residential or commercial setting. Again, I am available to discuss your housesitting needs
with you to see how I may help you travel with peace of mind,
while I care for your home, your pets,
your plants, and perhaps correspondence or domestic and professional liasons. Contact me to give the dates you will be gone,
your relative location, the general tasks that need doing. Kindest regards,
Teresa Ann Foxworthy
